Marion Crescent runs between Powerest and Cray Valley roads, a little northeast of an area that was once wooded and known as [[Robin Hood Shaw (St Mary Cray)|Robin Hood Shaw]] but is now full of residential streets with Robin Hood-related names. Given its proximity to these it is natural to assume that Marion is  Lady Marion, Maid Marian in her more refined incarnation. In the immediate vicinity of Marion Crescent we find [[Hood Avenue (St Mary Cray|Hood Avenue]] and [[May Avenue (St Mary Cray)|May Avenue]]. Marion Crescent is shown but not labelled on maps from the post-WWII period, so most likely the name dates from the second half of the 20th century.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-25. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.

Marion Crescent runs between Powerest and Cray Valley roads, a little northeast of an area that was once wooded and known as Robin Hood Shaw but is now full of residential streets with Robin Hood-related names. Given its proximity to these it is natural to assume that Marion is Lady Marion, Maid Marian in her more refined incarnation. In the immediate vicinity of Marion Crescent we find Hood Avenue and May Avenue. Marion Crescent is shown but not labelled on maps from the post-WWII period, so most likely the name dates from the second half of the 20th century.
