 <br> Overstrand St Martin is a rebuilt church on the site of a former Ancient parish in the Repps deanery of the Diocese of Norwich. Other places in the parish include Beck Hythe.
-It is unclear exactly when the first church in Overstrand was built. There was no church recorded in 1086 and the first records&nbsp; in Edward I reign,&nbsp; have Roger de Eccleburgh was patron of the church dedicated to St.Martin&nbsp; providing a date of 1272 to 1307. As such it could be assumed that the church was built during that period.

 We also know that it was one of the first recorded victims of local coastal erosion. Early accounts of Overstrand describe the topography as a parish extending for nearly two miles along the coast, comprising 400 acres of light and sandy soil which rises gradually from the shore and bounded on the south-west by a range of lofty hills.
