Description
The Chapel of St Martin, built between 1877 and 1879 by St Aubyn, is located to the north-east of Maristow House. It features grey dressed random rubble with yellow freestone dressings and has a slate roof, showcasing a Decorated style. The chapel includes a nave with three south windows, each containing two lights with geometric tracery, and a five-light east window also with geometric tracery. There is a north transept and two windows at the west end of the south side above the porch. The first stage of the west end has a canopied niche at the corner, which contains a figure of a saint. Above this, the ball stage is adorned with flat pilasters at the corners and two-light ball openings in double hollow-chamfered orders. The structure is topped with a stone broach spire featuring lucarnes at its base.
Inside, the chapel has marble nook-shafts supporting the south and east windows, and an arch-braced boarded roof over the east end, which is decorated with bosses. The principals of the roof are supported on marble colonnettes with angles over the capitals. At the west end, there is a three-bay arcade with cusped arches and a marble reredos. The original site of St Martin's chapel is located immediately to the east.
