Chancel restored and nearly rebuilt by Pearson, 1885-6. The Perp W tower of the usual E Notts type (ashlared, diagonal butresses, battlements, 8 pinnacles), dated 1504, survived him. The N side is all new, by WS Weatherley and Jones 1891-2; the S side goes with the tower. Inside, the N arcade with circular piers and low moulded capitals was originally EE. Font Norman, with a small kind of lozenge frieze at the top. Altar table Elizabethan. Small C14 and C15 fragments of stained glass in the tower window. Mutilated effigy of a knight, second half of C14, and John Helwys, 1599, alabaster - the effigy has gone. (1)
St Martin's Church is now redundant. (2)
