Love this church linked to many memories. Kept in the traditional style. Everyone is friendly. We're going to be making another memory in September when we get married. Looking forward to this a lot.

As a Muslim, churches are probably one of the least popular places to visit but comfort comes not from the beliefs but the people.A beautiful building, loved and maintained in the heart of a key Welsh town and a lovely congregation.I make a point of visiting historic buildings and churches, particularly in the UK (there is a real history there). I felt welcomed and comfortable at St Martin's

I was a wedding photographer at a wedding at St Martin's church in May 2019 and found it to be an exceptional wedding ceremony venue. Under the care and guidance of Father Mark, the couple were given the personal touch. He used humour and made the ceremony good fun and centred around the couple and their love for each other. Regarding the photography, he was very relaxed and the only rule was no use of flash. I would thoroughly recommend the church to any couples seeking to book a religious wedding in Caerphilly.

St Martin's is the parish church of Caerphilly and part of the Church in Wales. It forms part of a joint benefice for the town which also includes St Catherine's and St Andrew's. The present church replaced an earlier, probably 13th Century chapel, which lay to the west of today's site. St Martin's Chapel was part of Eglwysilian parish until 1850 when the parish of Caerphilly was created. The present bro-gothic church was designed by a former pupil of Sir George Gilbert Scott, Charles Buckeridge in 1873 and built in 1877-9: the nave was lengthened by 2 bays in 1904-5, and the prominent and rather handsome tower was constructed in 1907-10, both by local Cardiff architect George Eley Halliday. The south aisle was widened in 1938. The church is in an Early English style, with the larger windows filled with geometrical tracery. It has a spacious nave and aisles with a handsome arcade of 5 bays, leading to the chancel flanked by side chapels. The only ancient feature is the 15th Century font. The east window has fine glass. The church is open during weekday mornings for visits and private prayer as well as services on Sundays. We received a very warm welcome on our visit.
