Standing close to the road, this drab-looking church looks better on a sunny day. Even the roof of the Victorian south aisle has moss growing on it. Does the sun ever shine here? The north porch is Tudor and is typically of red brick. In the face of the right buttress is a stoup. Inside the church, you must be sure to see the finely carved misericorde panels, now part of the lectern and reading desk. They depict the martyrdom of Thomas Becket on one, and on the other St. Martin of Tours dividing his cloak. It is from St Martin of Tours that the church takes its dedication.
