This ancient rectory formerly belonged to the patronage
of the Barons Trusbutt, then to the priory of Wartre ;
afterwards to the Lords Scrope, of Massam ; and subse
quently came, by divers mesne assignments, into the
hands of trustees for the parish—H. Willoughby, Esq.,
and others. In 1585, the church of St. Gregory was
united with it ; and it is, therefore, usually called St.
Martin-cum-Gregory. Water Fulford also is within this
parish. In .1677, the steeple was rebuilt at the cost of
the parish. The windows contain some very good painted
glass ; and the interior of the church is handsome; being
divided into a nave, chancel, and side aisles. The roof
of the nave is pannelled with sculptured bosses, at the
angles of intersection, and springs from the clerestory
windows. In the west end of the steeple is the remnant
of a Roman funereal monument, on which a man, woman,
and child were sculptured. Church-room, about 600 ;
net value, £243.

This church was given by Ralph Paganel, with other
churches and lands to certain monks, who, from the name
of the church, were called the priory and convent of St.
Trinity, whose priory formerly adjoined it. In 1585, the
church of St. Nicholas was united to the church of the
Holy Trinity, Micklegate. In 1551, the old steeple being
blown down a new one was erected. Gent was of opinion,
that the present church had been built out of the remains
of the priory. Church-room, 326 ; net value, £93.
