Saint-Martin-du-Tilleul (in French pronounced as /sɛ̃ maʁtɛ̃ dy tijœl/) is a commune in the Eure department in Normandy in northern France. It includes the former parish of Tilleul-Folenfant.

History

St Germanus's Church (French: Église St-Germain du Tilleul-Fol-Enfant) was the burial site of the prominent Scholastic philosopher William of Conches, causing Antoine Charma to argue for the village as his actual place of birth. The tomb's funeral slab with William's effigy has since been moved to St Faith's Church in nearby Conches, however, in keeping with his usual association to it.
