It is unclear exactly when the first church in Overstrand was built. There was no church recorded in 1086 and the first records in Edward I reign, have Roger de Eccleburgh was patron of the church dedicated to St.Martin providing a date of 1272 to 1307. As such it could be assumed that the church was built during that period. | It is unclear exactly when the first church in Overstrand was built.

By the beginning of the 20th century the little Church was proving inadequate for the summer congregations, so in 1911 it was decided to restore and enlarge the ancient Church of St. Martin. In spite of considerable opposition from the Society of Antiquaries (The English Heritage of the day) who wanted to preserve the old ruin. The old Church was restored with the addition of a North Aisle and transept and was re-dedicated on May 30th 1914 by the Lord Bishop of Norwich and once again became the Parish Church. | By the beginning of the 20th century the little Church was proving inadequate for the summer congregations, so in 1911 it was decided to restore and enlarge the ancient Church of St. Martin.
