Obituary
By Martin's daughter Rebecca
In 1985 Martin was ordained a non-stipendiary Baptist Minister, which role he continued to undertake alongside his teaching career until his retirement. He was Minister of Coningsby Baptist Church from 1985-1989.
After leaving BGS Martin taught science at a school on the Wirral for a year (1989-1990) before moving with his family to Llandudno in North Wales, where he taught science and Religious Education at Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan, Abergele (1990-1997). He was also minister at Llandudno Baptist Church at this time. He retired from teaching in 1997 due to ill health.
In retirement Martin remained active in the church, especially through the organisation he set up and ran, Easy Bibles. This organisation focused on making translations and paraphrases of the Bible for people with low levels of literacy and he travelled across the world in this role. After his three daughters, Rebecca (b1978), Hannah (b1980) and Esther (b1985) had left home, he and his wife Jenny moved to live in a bungalow in Llanfairfechan on the North Wales coast, where they enjoyed the sea views and opportunity for countryside walks.
Martin died peacefully in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd on 10 January 2021 following a long battle with heart disease and vascular dementia. He is survived by Jenny, their three daughters and four grandchildren.
