St Martin's Vicarage
St Martin's Vicarage is a historic building in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England.
The house was constructed as the vicarage of St Martin-on-the-Hill, Scarborough. Some sources date it to 1863, but Nikolaus Pevsner argues that it must be later, as inside there is stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe, which was manufactured around 1889. Like the church, it was designed by G. F. Bodley, but is in the Queen Anne style, similar to work by Norman Shaw. The building was grade II* listed in 1973.
The vicarage is built of red brick, with moulded dressings, a string course and a tile roof. It has two storeys and attics, Three of the bays project under pediments and contain small-pane sash windows, and above each bay is a gable containing a window, over which is a pediment. Between the left two bays is a doorway, above which is a carved panel and a pediment.

The church was constructed for the Congregational Union of England and Wales, its third church in the town after ones on Eastborough and Westborough, and is now part of the United Reformed Church. It was built between 1864 and 1868, to a design by Henry Francis Lockwood and William Mawson, the funding coming from Titus Salt. It is in a 13th-century Gothic revival style, and is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as being "as spectacular as any Scarborough church". The building was grade II listed in 1973, and upgraded to grade II* in 1993.
The church is built of stone. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south transepts, a chancel, a southwest steeple, and a northwest apse. The steeple has a two-stage tower with buttresses and clock faces, on which are four crocketted pinnacles and a spire, and at the north end is a rose window.
