# St Margaret of Antioch, Marton

St Margaret of Antioch is a Grade I parish church on Gainsborough Road, Marton, Lincolnshire, in the Diocese of Lincoln. It stands near the old Roman road north toward Torksey.

## Overview

Historic England records a parish church of the mid eleventh century, with late-twelfth, early-thirteenth, fifteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century work. Fabric is limestone herringbone rubble, coursed rubble and ashlar, with some ironstone and red brick, under slate roofs with decorative ridge tiles and battlemented east gables. The plan is a west tower, nave with north and south aisles, south porch, and a rectangular chancel with a small northern recess.

The eleventh-century tower has herringbone masonry throughout and long-and-short quoins. Bell openings are paired and round-headed, divided by mid-wall shafts with crude volute capitals. An Anglo-Saxon nave roof-line shows beneath the eastern bell opening. Between tower and north aisle, part of the eleventh-century nave remains with long-and-short work. Inside, an early-twelfth-century tower arch is not bonded into the tower. The north arcade of about 1175 has round arches and a foliated volute capital; the early-thirteenth-century south arcade has pointed double-chamfered arches. The early-twelfth-century chancel arch has roll moulding, cushion capitals and shafts. Fragments of an Anglo-Saxon cross with interlace are reset in the west end of the south aisle, and an eleventh-century cross head is embedded in the north wall.
