'''St Martin's Church''' is the [[parish church]] of [[Bulmer, North Yorkshire]], a village in England.
The oldest part of the church is the nave, which dates from the 11th century, and may be before or after the [[Norman Conquest]]. The chancel dates from the early 12th century, while the south nave door was added in the second half of the century. Around 1400, a north chapel was added, the tower and [[quire]] were rebuilt, and the nave walls were heightened. The upper part of the tower was rebuilt in 1637, and [[buttress]]es were added. In the 18th century, the chapel was demolished, and new windows were inserted in the walls of the nave. A porch was added around 1800. In 1893, [[James Demaine]] and [[Walter Brierley]] restored the church, during which process they rebuilt the chancel. The church was [[grade I listed]] in 1954.<ref name="vch">{{cite book |title=A History of the County of York North Riding: Volume 2 |date=1923 |publisher=Victoria County History |location=London |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/north/vol2/pp107-113#h3-s3 |access-date=27 April 2024}}</ref><ref name="nhle">{{cite web |title=Church of St Martin |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1174317?section=official-list-entry |website=National Heritage List for England |publisher=Historic England |access-date=27 April 2024}}</ref>

The church is built of [[limestone]] and [[sandstone]], with a roof of [[Westmorland]] [[slate]] to the [[nave]] and corrugated iron to the chancel. The church consists of a nave, a south porch, a two-bay chancel, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a [[string course]], diagonal [[buttress]]es, a small [[lancet window]], double lancet bell openings, and an [[embattled]] [[parapet]] with corner [[pinnacle]]s and a datestone. The porch has a late 12th-century doorway with two orders on [[molding (architecture)|moulded]] [[capital (architecture)|capitals]]. Two round-headed 11th-century windows survive on the south side of the nave, while the 15th- and 18th-century windows have square heads. In the porch is a memorial to Christopher Thompson, blacksmith at [[Castle Howard]], who died in 1773.<ref name="nhle" /><ref>{{cite book| last1 =Grenville| first1 =Jane| last2 = Pevsner | first2 = Nikolaus | author2-link = Nikolaus Pevsner | series= The Buildings of England| title =Yorkshire: The North Riding| publisher =[[Yale University Press]] | year =2023 | orig-year=1966 |location =New Haven and London | isbn =978-0-300-25903-2 }}</ref>
