Description
The Church of St. Martin is a parish church primarily dating from the 14th century. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings and has slated roofs. The church features a west tower, an aisless three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, and a south porch. The tower includes a two-light Decorated west window and four two-light Decorated belfry windows, topped with brick battlements. The south wall of the nave has two three-light straight-headed Perpendicular windows set under brick relieving arches, and the third bay contains a re-used Decorated two-light window in a blocked south arch. On the north side of the nave, there are two smaller two-light straight-headed Perpendicular windows. The chancel's south side features two renewed straight-headed Decorated windows and a three-light Perpendicular east window.
Inside, the south porch has a door from 1861 with text painted on a metal template, and the nave and chancel roof, also from around 1861, is arched braced. The church contains a stained glass east window, an octagonal font, and a possibly 13th-century stone altar mensa that has been re-used, displaying squared cross motifs and consecration crosses.
