St Martin's Church, Little Ness
Image: © Ann Taken: 25 Nov 2011
A 12th century Norman church dedicated to St Martin, Bishop of Tours in France. It is adjacent to a Celtic ‘barrow’ which could have been the final resting place of a Cambrian prince. The Church is built of local sandstone and was a Chapel of Ease to the Parish of Baschurch. It remained so until 1911 when it became an independent parish, largely through the efforts of Alfred E W Darby of Adcote. The hamlet of Little Ness is a close community and the church echoes that.
