Description

The remains of the Church of St. Martin are a former parish church dating from the late medieval period. The structure is built of flint with stone and brick dressings. It features a west tower and an aisleless nave. The unbuttressed west tower has two-light Y-traceried bell-openings, which are primarily made of brick. Many other architectural features are obscured by dense vegetation. The site has group value in relation to the nearby Church of St. Martin.
