The south side and eastern ends of the aisles were rebuilt, and the pierced battlement was added, to replace one removed 40 years earlier.

The clock on the east front was added in 1856 by Mr Cooke,[4] with a carved figure of the ‘Little Admiral’ dating from 1778.

It was badly damaged by bombing on 29 April 1942 and was rebuilt between 1961 and 1968 under the supervision of George Pace.

The church is noted as having a large medieval window with scenes from the life of St Martin.

Luckily this was removed for safe keeping in 1940, and was not destroyed in the bombing of April 1942.
