| Sepia, corny, but I like it |
As I had the day off I thought it would be a good time to nip out and have a meal at a local pub, The Longhorn (very good by the way, try the fish) On leaving I noticed St Martin's, a church I must have passed dozens of times without really noticing this wonderful art deco style stonework.

St Martin’s was a daughter church to St Matthew’s, and in September 1977 St Martin’s became a district church.
Funnily enough, the pub we came out of, the Longhorn, was previously known as the Redhouse Pub and this was the place of worship for the parishioners before St Martin's was constructed. The current site of St Martin's was previously a large home belonging to the family of Mary Stanley, this house was allegedly demolished by mistake instead of the 3 Crowns Pub which is still standing further on up the Sutton Road.
