Church Of St Martin

The Church of St Martin is a parish church dating from the 14th century, with some later Perpendicular architectural details. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and has slated roofs. The church features a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles and a clerestory, a south porch, and a chancel with a north chapel.

The west tower includes a three-light Decorated west window and four two-light openings for the bell chamber, along with a stair tower on the south side. The clerestory has five two-light windows, while the south aisle contains four three-light Decorated windows. The south porch is also decorated and has a single light window in the gable. The chancel features two straight-headed Decorated windows of two lights and a five-light east window with reticulated tracery. The north aisle has a blocked 15th-century north door and three-light Decorated windows, with the two-bay north chancel chapel continuing from the aisle, featuring two Decorated three-light windows and a three-light east window.

Inside, there are five-bay north and south arcades supported by octagonal piers with double hollow chamfered arches. The tower arch is Perpendicular in style. The north chancel chapel has an arch that dies into the wall leading to the north aisle and a two-bay arcade leading to the chancel. The chancel arch is also Perpendicular, with a rood stairs arch to the north and a rectangular squint to the south. The sedilia is mostly 19th-century recut and has a half-filled piscina. The nave roof, which dates from the 15th century, is arched braced and has been much renewed, while the chancel roof is a heavily wind-braced structure from the High Victorian period. There are 15th-century glass fragments in the south aisle's east window, and the chancel's east window was created by Hughes around 1860. The octagonal font from the 15th century features four evangelist beasts and four shields depicting a defaced crucifixion, Passion instruments, the Trinity symbol, and the Royal Arms.
