That's right. There is, however, a memorial plaque on the churchyard
wall:

It says 

Near this spot lie the mortal remains of 
Christopher Marlowe 
who met his untimely death 
in Deptford on May 30th 1593
Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight
Doctor Faustus

Charles Nicholl's book The Reckoning is a superb biography of Marlowe.
