St Martin's
TA 102 632

This church is approached through a tunnel of ancient yew trees. Once inside it is a wide building with a very wide north aisle.

The chancel houses some superbly carved misericords, three of which are shown below as green man carvings, though one may be a cat-like animal.

The rest of the church has Romanesque relics such as the chancel arch, the south aisle has a few corbels, once on the exterior, but I could not make out what they represent.

In the north aisle there are some tombs, one bears a rather morbid collection of bones sculpted on the outside, it took my fancy so a photo is included below.

 

Clicking on the map reference at the top of the page will take you to a map of the area
