Church Of St. Martin

The Church of St. Martin is a Grade II* listed building originally dating from the 13th century, though a complete restoration in 1870 conceals much of the early structure. A tower was added in 1884. The church features a red tile roof and walls made of flint with stone dressings. On the south side of the chancel, there is a filled lancet window, and a small lancet window is located at the east end of the nave on the north side. The restoration includes stepped buttresses and windows. The tower consists of three stages, with a crenellated parapet, bands, a plinth, and diagonal stepped buttresses. Inside, there are stone brackets intended for statues, and on the east wall, there is a cill for a piscina. The church also contains a plain octagonal 13th-century font with a 17th-century wooden cover, 17th-century furniture, and an anointed Royal Coat of Arms of George III. The floor slabs in the nave date from around 1700. The interior features an arch-braced timber roof and a small door opening that is likely Norman in origin. Additionally, there is a brick south porch that now serves as a vestry.
