It was restored in 1861 by the Louth Architect James Fowler for the local Haigh family.
The Chancel is highly decorated with Minton tiles on the floor, walls and the reredos. The colourful style is oriental.
The oldest part of St. Martin's is the tower which is mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086.
