Description
The Church of St. Martin is a parish church built in 1882 by Sir Arthur Blomfield, designed in the Early English style. It is constructed from square ironstone rubble with limestone ashlar dressings and features plain tiled roofs. The church includes a nave with an eastern bellcote, a chancel, a south porch, and a vestry.
At the west end, there are a pair of lancet windows with a sexfoil above, all set under a pointed arch. The north wall of the nave has five lancets, and above the east gable is a single gabled bellcote adorned with gablettes and cusped headed arches. In the chancel's north wall, there is one lancet and a pair of lancets with a trefoil above. The east wall features stepped triple lancets with a common moulded hood. A foundation stone laid by Nathaniel Clayton in 1882 is located below this wall. The chancel's south wall contains a pair of lancets that match those on the north, along with another pair in the vestry's south wall. The south wall of the nave has four lancets and a gabled south porch, which has a moulded outer doorway and a niche above that holds a statue of St. Martin. The inner doorway features a convex chamfered surround with a moulded over arch that dies into the reveals.
Inside, there is a double chamfered chancel arch that dies into the reveals. A double chamfered arch on the south side of the chancel opens into the vestry. Also on the south side is a sedilia, and the east wall has a moulded and shafted rear arch to the window. Most fittings are from the 19th century, except for the 14th-century octagonal font bowl, which is decorated with quatrefoils and shields. The east and west windows contain stained glass dating from around 1915.
