St Martin's Church, Colchester, Norman church in Dutch Quarter, Colchester, England.
The church features flint rubble walls with Roman bricks, a wagon roof in the chancel, and decorative timber carvings throughout the structure.
During the English Civil War in 1648, the church tower sustained considerable damage and remains in an unrepaired, truncated state to this day.
The interior contains medieval wall paintings, including fragments of a Doom painting over the chancel arch that was covered with whitewash in 1543.
Visitors can obtain access keys from the Colchester Borough Council museum service to explore this Grade II listed religious building.
The chancel roof displays intricate medieval timberwork with a Green Man carving at its apex, uncovered during 19th-century restoration works.
