Welcome to St Martin's Brighton

A Church at the Heart of the Community

01273 689989

A warm welcome to our new website

St Martin's church, set in the very heart of Brighton, now sharing the dedication with St Wilfred and St Alban (titles of two parishes in the former Resurrection Team) was consecrated in 1875 as the memorial to Fr. Henry Wagner, one of Brighton's longest serving vicars and builder of churches. Originally it was to have two further purposes, one to be the Garrison Church of Brighton and the other to serve the community in and around the Lewes Road. The latter remains its purpose today.

Parish Priest - The Rev'd Canon Trevor Buxton SSC

PUBLIC WORSHIP SUSPENSION

Following the Archbishop's instructions public worship is suspended, and the Church is closed until further notice.


“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength . . . Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”

RIP
