15th century tower.St. Martin's church is mentioned in the Domesday Book and the oldest part of the structure is dated to the early 11th century. The tower was built sometime in the 15th century when it was topped with a wooden spire. In the late 17th century it was faced with the brick now seen. (Ref. 1) In the 16th century rationalisation of the York parishes, St. Gregories parish was combined with St. martin.s and the church became St. martin's-cum-Gregory. It remains the only one in York to have retained in its name the name of an absorbed parish. Photo: taken 8 June 2007 |
