St Martin's Church, Wareham, Anglo-Saxon church in Wareham, England.
St Martin's Church features a tall narrow nave, chancel, and original Anglo-Saxon wall-arcading in the northwest aisle of the stone structure.
The current church building dates from 1030 AD, following the destruction of an earlier structure by King Canute in 1015 at this location.
The north wall contains 12th-century frescoes depicting Saint Martin on horseback dividing his cloak to help a person in need.
Weekly communion services take place every Wednesday morning at 11 AM, lasting 45 minutes, using the Book of Common Prayer.
A stone tomb effigy of T.E. Lawrence, created by Eric Kennington, stands within the north aisle of the church building.
