St Martin's Church

The limestone building features a three-stage west tower with a recessed spire, decorated with gargoyles and buttresses at each corner point.

The church structure incorporates elements from multiple construction periods, with sections dating from the 11th through the 15th centuries in its walls.

The interior holds significant architectural elements, including Norman arcades, a 12th-century lead-lined font, and numerous 18th-century memorial wall plaques.

The church building accommodates 220 worshippers and remains open for religious services, while also welcoming visitors interested in historical architecture.

The location next to High Dyke, part of the ancient Ermine Street Roman road, connects the church to the area's Roman heritage.
