The Church of St Martin in Worle within the English county of Somerset has Norman origins. It is a Grade II* listed building.
St Martin's Church was built in 1125 and rebuilt during the 14th and 15th centuries, with major restoration and extension work in 1870. It is a Grade II* listed building.
Following the dissolution of the monasteries the carved misericords from Woodspring Priory were moved to St Martin's.[1]
The Church is now ecumenical, with Methodist as well as Church of England ministers. The parish and benefice of Worle is within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[2]
The stone building has a tiled roof and consists of a four bay nave, chancel and north aisle. The three-stage tower is supported by angle buttresses.
