Church Notes: original church built mid-11thC, but there may have been an earlier church here as early as the 7thC
Walker (1883) writes in his entry for "St. Mary in the Capitol": "One of the principle treasures of the Church is a fine brass [did Walker mean bronze?] font, circular in shape, and resting on four lions; the cover is surmounted by a figure of St Martin on horseback, dividing his cloak with a beggar; the cover bears the maker's name H. [Heinrich] Wechrat, 1594, and is removed by means of a fine wrought iron crane of the same date." [NB: the present font does not match the description in Walker [cf. supra, but the cover does, but it is bronze -- the present church dates back to the 11th century, but we have no information on the original font of this church]. [cf. Index entry for Cologne no. 13, Klein St. Martin, for details and photographs of this font cover]
