Church Of St Martin

The Church of St Martin is a disused church located in Brampton, dating back to the 12th century with later alterations and additions. It features red sandstone rubble walls, some of which incorporate reused stone from the Roman Wall, and has ashlar dressings. The church originally included a tower, nave, and chancel, but now only the chancel and a porch from 1861 remain, along with a sexton's lean-to shed on the north side. The other parts were demolished between 1787 and 1789, with the stone repurposed to improve the chapel in Brampton.

The porch has oak doors and iron gates from 1891, framed by a tooled ashlar surround, and is topped with a gable that has a cross finial. The chancel features a round-headed Norman lancet in the south wall, with a reused medieval recessed arch below that was rebuilt in 1788. Other lancets and the east window were added in 1891, along with a cross finial on the east gable and a belfry on the west gable from 1788. The church was declared redundant in 1978, leading to the removal of its interior furnishings. The south wall of the chancel contains a piscina and aumbry, possibly from the 12th century and repositioned. The Norman lancet has splays and a stepped sill. The flagged floor includes late 17th and early 18th-century grave slabs in the northeast corner. The church was likely re-roofed in 1891.
