Church Of St Martin

The Church of St. Martin was rebuilt around 1745 for Hon. Richard Arundell. The west front is made of ashlar, while the rest of the building is constructed from coursed limestone. The roof is covered with stone slates and corrugated sheets, and the church is designed in a Norman style. It features a nave with six bays, along with north and south aisles and transepts. A tower sits between the nave and chancel, flanked by a stair and a former vestry, with the chancel consisting of two bays.

The west front includes a central plank and stud door with a semicircular overlight in a moulded surround. Above this door is a circular west window within an architrave, flanked by round-arched windows that have voussoirs. The aisles are gabled and slightly project, featuring round-headed windows, flanking pilasters, and open pediments. The returns of the aisles have four round-headed windows, with two-light windows in the transepts. The east window of the chancel is in the Perpendicular style and has five lights, containing some original glass. A continuous projecting band runs around the building at sill level.

The tower has three stages and features round-headed belfry windows with a continuous band above. It is topped with a shallow pyramidal roof and a weather vane. Inside, there is an original vase-shaped font, a two-decker pulpit with a sounding board above, and panelled box pews. Iron gates lead to the north and south transepts and to the chancel. The north transept houses two wooden effigies of cross-legged knights from the late 13th or early 14th century, along with alabaster effigies of Sir John and Alyson Mauleverer from 1475, and a brass of Sir John and Eleanor Mauleverer from around 1400. The south transept contains a large tomb of Mrs. Mary Thornton, who died in 1800. The chancel is simply fitted.
