St
Martin
Number 506 in the
series is St Martin. A church was here in Domesday times but has
little or no trace of the original building remain. The doorway is
of the 14th c. and leads into the church built in 1864-65 by Alfred
Waterhouse (1830-1905). Built of local sandstone the castellated
tower, which is heavily buttressed, and capped by a red tile
spirelet. James Anthony Sims says of the Victorian restoration of
the pitched clay tiled roof and walls of the main part of the
church, 'it puts one in mind of the Salvation Army, very worthy but
not the sort of thing to stir the imagination'. Monuments include
Judge Sir Robert Heath (1575-1649) and Avary Tipping 1933 author of
'English Homes'.
