About

St Martin’s lies southeast of Colchester Town Hall, a spectacular medieval survivor with a massive truncated tower.

Many reused Roman bricks may be seen in its exterior, especially in its tower. Although there is evidence of 11th-century work, most of the present building grew during the 14th-century.

Treasures include a wagon roof, Jacobean woodwork and a green man carving.

The church is currently used by Colchester's Greek Orthodox community and its doors are often open for visitors to look around inside.
