St Martin

The nave has coursed rubble, partly herringbone on the north side, and some reused Roman tiles

over the vestry door and to the east side of the porch, remains of blocked Norman windows with chevron ornament to surrounds.

Fine early C16 red brick porch with diaper patterns in blue headers: diagonal buttresses

Gargoyles are spaced along the cornice below the parapet, and each face of the top stage has a high 2-light window with transome and cusping.

Fine C15 octagonal font: blank shields in roundels alternating with traceried panels.

Both east windows contain late Victorian memorial stained glass.

C17 altar rails with turned balusters.

Part of the base of the rood-screen seems to have been reused as a box-pew in the chancel.

2 funeral hatchments on the south wall of the chancel.

A feature of the church are the 2 misericords built into the Victorian lectern and reading-desk, one showing St. Martin dividing his cloak with a beggar, the other the martyrdom of St. Thomas a Becket.
