St Michael and St Martin's Church, Eastleach Martin

The limestone church features a nave with a south porch, a north transept, a chancel, and a west tower with stone slate roofing.

The church, founded in the 12th century by Richard Fitzpons, was later granted to Great Malvern Priory in 1120 by his son.

The interior contains a hexagonal timber pulpit with Jacobean paneling and an octagonal stone font dating from the 15th century.

Located near the River Leach, the church offers limited roadside parking and remains open daily for visitors to explore its medieval architecture.

The church stands only 180 meters from St Andrew's Church across Keble's Bridge, creating a rare pairing of medieval churches in neighboring villages.
