Church Of St. Martin

The Church of St. Martin is a parish church built in 1799 and altered in 1869, showcasing Gothic revival architecture. It is constructed from ashlar and blue lias stone, topped with slate roofs. The layout includes a western rectangular vestry, a west tower situated to the east of the vestry, a nave, and a rectangular chancel.

The vestry, built in 1799, features a moulded plinth and a pointed west window with delicate tracery and a hood mould. It is adorned with pinnacles at each corner, which have crockets and finials, and an openwork quatrefoil balustrade encircles the west, north, and south sides. The west tower, also from 1799, has a moulded plinth and consists of two stages separated by a flat stone string course. The west side includes a small window above the string course, while the south side features a pointed doorway with a hood mould. The bell chamber has openings on all four sides, each containing two cusped lights topped with a trefoil and hood mould. The tower is further embellished with pronounced moulded eaves, gargoyles, an openwork balustrade, and pinnacles with crockets and finials.

The nave, built in 1799, has a plinth and features two windows on the north side, each with three lights and tracery from 1869. The blue lias chancel, constructed in 1869, has corner buttresses of two stages and a large east window with three lights under a pointed hood mould, decorated with floral label stops. The south side of the chancel includes a small buttress leading to a string course beneath a rectangular window with two lights and tracery. The south side of the nave has three irregularly placed windows, with the two western windows containing three lights and the eastern window having two lights, all featuring tracery from 1869.

Inside, a pointed, moulded doorway connects the tower to the nave, supported by two shafts with a hood mould and foliage and flowers as label stops. There is a gallery at the west end of the nave, and wainscotting reaches up to the window sills. The chancel arch is pointed and moulded, with heads serving as label stops. The chancel features a wagon roof, a piscina in the north wall, 19th-century pews, an octagonal font, and a pulpit, all from the 19th century.
