St. Martin's church is near the eastern coast, about 2 miles from St. Peter's, it consists of nave, chancel, north aisle, south porch, and a toner and spire, situated at the east end of the nave. There is a peculiarity in the section of Ibis church, viz., that the aiste is mnre In/ly than the nave, the chancel being of the same height as the aisle. That the least lofty division of the church is indeed the nave is attested by these facts—1. It is in the same line with the chancel—2. The tower and spire are placed over its eastern end—3. The pulpit is situa'ed in it. The chancel projects no further on plan than the aisle, from which it i» separated by a cuspated arch, whose iiead is uot, however, pointed but round. It will be observed, that bolh St. Martin's and Catel churcles have only one aisle, viz., a north aisle; it m^iy perhaps also be worth noticing, that the ;)oor ioics in each are similar and are of a peculiar kind, resembling long narrow boxes turned on one end, so as to stand perhaps about 3 feet in height, the money being admitted through a small aperture in the top.
