History
The name Martin is Old English mere+tun for "farmstead near a pool". In the 12th century, the village name is recorded as Martona. It is also often listed as Merton in older records, reflecting Old English origins of the name. The Fynes family, a cadet branch of the Earls of Lincoln, were seated at White Hall, or Martin Grange, until the 18th century.[2]
