Church Of Saint Martin

The Church of Saint Martin is a church built between 1860 and 1862, designed by Ernest Bates. It features coursed rubble construction with a slate roof. The building includes a nave with a clerestory, aisles, transepts, and a northwest tower with an entrance. The chancel has vestries on either side and is designed in a late 13th-century style. The clerestory and aisles have four bays, with three-light openings in the clerestory and two-light openings in the aisles, which are supported by weathered buttresses and have corbelled eaves. The three-storey tower has an arched doorway, angle buttresses, and two enriched two-light openings in the belfry, along with quatrefoil banding. The spire features broach statues with corbelled canopies and a gabled lucarne on each cardinal face. The transepts are supported by angled buttresses and have four-light windows with coped gables. The two-bay chancel includes two-light windows and a five-light east window. Inside, there are alternating circular and octagonal columns in the nave arcade with double chamfered arches. The nave roof is supported by arched braced king-post trusses, and the chancel arch is adorned with clustered columns, while the chancel has a barrel-vault ceiling.
