Architectural Features
C12, or possibly earlier,
Medieval plan indeterminate, as some of the stone has been reused for field and garden walls but main ruins are a tower-like structure, possibly a gatehouse, and the western section of rectilinear structure, probably the church, linked by a wall.
Tower: C15.
Church: rubble walls of C12, or possibly earlier.
Above, a C15 segmental-arched window with fragments of 3 lights with Perpendicular tracery.
St Martin's Farmhouse to the west, not included in the listing, with a medieval-looking buttress, and the surround of a 2-light mullion window on the north end, may represent a guesthouse.
In 1100, land and a chapel dedicated to St Martin were given by Wymar, Steward to the Earl of Richmond, to St Mary's Abbey in York, which made St Martin's a Cell under a Prior.
Scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
