Two famous English churches, one at Canterbury and another in London (St Martin's-in-the-Fields) bear his name - in fact, by the year 1800, 173 ancient churches in England had his name, and in France 500 villages and 4 000 parish churches share this distinction. The calendar of The Book of Common Prayer marks his name twice: on 11 November (called Martinmas) and on 4 July, the anniversary of his consecration as bishop. Common Worship marks his name once on the 11 November. In Europe, fine, warm winter weather often occurs in the first fortnight of November and is called St Martin's Summer.
