Description
The Church of St. Martin is a former parish church that has been disused since the 17th century and now exists as a ruinous fragment. The structure features the empty shell of a tower made of rubble flint with freestone quoins, which reaches the top of the second stage. It has diagonal buttresses and a single-light lancet window in the west wall, although this window is much damaged. The church is located on privately-owned land.
