    Notes 
    • West Midlands BMDs adds to the marriage location, in brackets, 'Pepper Pot', which is explained in 'The Annals of Tipton' (Wolverhampton Heritage Society): 'The new St. Martin?s, erected 1795-97, is rectangular in plan and had a nave, with galleries on three sides, and an organ in the west gallery. On the eastern side is an arch leading to a small chancel. At the west end is a semi-circular bell tower, with a circular domed top. Because of this the building became known as The Pepper Pot?.
