The Church of St Martin, also known as Sarum St Martin, is a Church of England parish church in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. The church dates from the 13th century and is a Grade I listed building.^[1]

History

The church has a chancel which was built c.1230,^[2] a 14th-century tower with spire, and a 15th-century nave with aisles. From 1849 to 1850, the church building was restored by Thomas Henry Wyatt and David Brandon.^[1]

In 1952, the church was designated a Grade I listed building.^[1]

The parish falls within the Traditional Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England.^[3] As it rejects on theological grounds the ordination of women as priests and bishops, the parish receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Oswestry (currently Paul Thomas).^[4]
