(NT 5210 7394) St Martin's Church (NR) (rems of)
OS 6" map, (1969).
St Martin's Church, originally a chapel belonging to St Mary's Nunnery (NT57SW 10) was a small, rectangular structure comprising nave and chancel, of which the roofless nave is the only structure that remains. However, excavations a few years before 1896 revealed the foundations of the chancel; these were not found during DoE excavations in 1912. It was built in the early 12th century, and was altered in the 13th century when a structure was vaulted and buttresses added. In the 17th century, it became a Protestant place of worship but was ultimately allowed to decay. The structure had been thoroughly repaired by the DoE.
