Cemeteries This Church has (or had) a graveyard. Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all. Church History This Place of Worship was founded in 1325, and we understand it is still open. The present St Martin's church was built 1845 by R.W. Jearrad, but this is not the original St Martin's parish church. In the Middle Ages, St. Martin's was the mother church of which All Saints was a chapel, but the original building within the city of Hereford was destroyed during the Civil War. According to Littlebury's Directory of 1876-7, it was consecrated by Bishop Orleton in 1325, and stood "without the city walls at the foot of Wye bridge". This was of course a reference to the old bridge, which today is bypassed by the modern Greyfriars Bridge carrying the A49 across the river, but the memory of St Martin's remains, in the street of that name which is a continuation of Bridge Street, traversing what is now the old bridge. [Source: The Buildings of Herefordshire, Pevsner, 1963, and Littlebury's Directory of Herefordshire, 1876-7] Denomination Now or formerly Church of England. If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
