The Parish Church of St. Martin

St. Martin’s in Church Street serves the south east quarter of the city – Milford, Petersfinger, the Friary and Exeter Street. The church pre-dates the modern city; its chancel is Salisbury’s oldest building – it may even date from Roman times when Old Sarum was a fortified city and this was a “St. Martin’s in the Fields.”
