Historical Highway MarkersMartin's Hundred ChurchW-52
The first Martin's Hundred Parish church was probably built at Wolstenholme Town, an early-17th-century settlement that was located a mile southeast of here. None of the structures excavated there has been identified as a church; it may have been in a portion of the town that has been lost to erosion. A second parish church was built about 1630. Martin's Hundred Parish was incorporated into Yorkhampton Parish in York County in 1712, and the Martin's Hundred Church may have been abandoned then. The cemetery there probably continued in use for some time afterward.
