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.

Lady Battersea gave the pair of antique Italian brass gondola lamps that hang in the Santuary and the lamp over the rector's stall. A forth lantern now hanging over the lay reader's desk together with the wrought iron brackets supporting all these lights were commissioned by her ladyship from the Cromer Guild of Handicrafts, a local society formed in 1912 of which she headed the honorary advisory committee.

A Medieval Bust of our Lord in a niche near the Font, is of the School of Luini, thought to date from the early 16th Century, this also was presented by Lady Battersea in 1919.
