Martletwy Church St Marcellus's Church has nave, chancel, and an aisle the same width as the nave, with a bellcote at the western end.  It was much rebuilt in 1848-50 and the interior restored in 1896-7, but the chancel arch is probably 13C and there is a south porch of the 16C or 17C with a round arched doorway having a sundial carved into one of its arch-stones.  The font is Norman, with a square bowl with panelled sides.  The church is at SN033106.
