St Martin's Tipton

The ancient parish church of Tipton is St John’s (originally St Martin’s) in Upper Church Lane which is thought to date from the 13th or 14th century but was completely rebuilt in the 17th and 19th centuries. Its tower has a sundial which is inscribed ‘This steeple was built anno domini 1683. John Nightingale, William Clare, Church Wardens'. The church was closed in 1794 because of damage caused by a storm and mining subsidence and a new church of St Martin was erected in Lower Church Lane in 1797. The nave of the old church was rebuilt in 1854 and rededicated to St John.

The new St Martin’s church was designed by John Keyte of Kidderminster and was completed at a cost of £1,522 with an additional £100 paid for the building of a wall round the churchyard. By 1812 galleries had been added around three sides of the church at a further cost of £383. St Martin’s was affectionately known as the Pepperbox due to the distinctive domed top to its tower but this was removed when the tower was rebuilt in 1963. The church was declared redundant in 1988 but has survived thanks to a residential conversion that was featured on TV’s Grand Designs. (4)
