In 1905, following Ecclesiastical parish changes, Worcester St Martin's Church, in the Cornmarket ceased to be the parish church of St. Martin's parish, becoming a chapel of ease in St. Swithun's Parish. The status and parochial rights were transferred to the London Road Mission Church, pending the building and consecration of the new St. Martin's Church in April 1911. The congregation at the St Martin's Church in the Cornmarket expressed a wish to retain the same dedication, so that the church became known as Worcester Old St Martin Church to distinguish it from the new St Martin's Church in London Road.
St Swithun ceased to be a parish in 1978. The parish then became Worcester St Martin in the Cornmarket. St. Swithun's Church is now closed for worship and has been in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust since 1977. [5] [40]
