Description
The Church of Saint Martin is a parish church built in 1857 by James Fowler of Louth, located in East Ravendale, Humberside. It is constructed of ironstone ashlar with limestone ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof, showcasing the Gothic Revival style. The church has a three-bay nave with a south porch and a two-bay chancel that includes a vestry on the north side. Architectural details include a plinth, angle buttresses, and a cill band. The windows consist of single and twin lancets with hoodmoulds and foliate stops, as well as stepped east lancets. The west end features twin lancets with a quatrefoil above in a projecting bay that rises to a gabled bellcote with a single shafted trefoiled opening. The porch has a pointed shafted outer door and a chamfered inner door.
Inside, the church has shafts and moulded arches supporting the nave and east chancel windows, along with a pointed chancel arch that has dogtooth moulding on filleted responds. An ornate carved stone reredos displays a blind arcade of pointed arches on marble shafts, and there is an ornate shafted niche on the north chancel wall. The chancel floor is covered with polychrome encaustic tiles, and there is an inscribed 14th-century floor slab at the west end, which is much worn. The twin stained glass windows on the south side, created by Morris & Co. (Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris), depict scenes and figures against a patterned background.
