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.
History
The church has a chancel which was built c.1230, 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.
In 1952, the church was designated a Grade I listed building.
Present day
The parish falls within the Traditional Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England. 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).
Notable clergy
- Clement Ricketts (1885–1961), later Bishop of Dunwich, served his curacy here
- Bruce Duncan (born 1938), Principal of Sarum College, honorary curate
