The Church of St Martin in Worle within the English county of Somerset has Norman origins. It is a Grade II* listed building. [1]
St Martin's Church was built in 1125 and rebuilt during the 14th and 15th centuries, with major restoration and extension work in 1870. [1] It is a Grade II* listed building. [1]
Following the dissolution of the monasteries the carved misericords from Woodspring Priory were moved to St Martin's. [2]

Worle is a large village in North Somerset which is joined to the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare on its western edge.

In the book, it is said that Worle was owned by Walter of Douai, and consisted of 750 acres (3.0 km2) and valued at 6.5 hides. "Walter of Douai holds of the King, Worle. Edgar held it in the time of King Edward, and gelded for six hides and a half." The parish church of St Martin's sits on the side of Worlebury Hill and overlooks the village.
