St Martin’s Parish Church, Guernsey, Medieval parish church in Saint Martin, Guernsey
The church building features a main nave, tower, chancel from 1225, northern aisle from 1300s, and a porch added around 1520 with a 1751 sundial.
The religious site dates to 1048, when William of Normandy granted it to Marmoutier Abbey, with the current structure consecrated on February 4th, 1199.
The baptismal font predates the Reformation period, while the church maintains three bells cast by Jean Baptiste Brocard in September 1736.
The church holds regular services, offers guided tours, and provides parking facilities at the nearby Professor Shaw Community Centre.
La Gran'mère du Chimquière, a prehistoric menhir from 2500-1800 BC, stands at the entrance gate where brides place flowers for good fortune.
