St Martin's is an Anglican parish, in the Deanery of Walsall and Diocese of Lichfield.

Prior to the construction of the present church building, the congregation worshipped in the Red House Pub (now the Longhorn).

The church stands on land that once belonged to the family of Mary Stanley, a site that was formerly occupied by the Stanley family home, which was demolished in error instead of the old Three Crowns pub, further up the Sutton Road.

The church building was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield, the Right Reverend Arthur Streetton Reeve, on Saturday 22 October 1960.

The building has a distinctive A frame design, and features a large carving of Christ with the children, by Raymond Forbes Kings.
