Description
The Church of St Mark is a parish church built in 1871 by Haswell. It is constructed of rubble with dressings and features a blue slate roof adorned with two purple bands and orange ridge tiles. The building has a rectangular shape with a canted apse, a south porch that connects to a south-west tower, and a small vestry on the north side.
The tower is stepped in three stages and includes paired belfry openings with central shafts and chamfered pointed arches above the lintels. It is topped with a square stone spire that has two bands of tegulated ornament. The projecting porch features a pointed arch made up of two chamfered orders, and to the east of the porch are three lancet windows. The west end of the church has two stepped buttresses, with the northern set positioned between two trefoiled lancets that share a continuous hoodmould. The east end has a trefoiled lancet on each face of the apse. On the north side, there are four lancets to the west of the vestry, which has a boarded door on the west and a two-light window with pointed heads above the lintels on the north side.
Inside, the church has no structural divisions and features arch-braced roof trusses supported by moulded corbels. The furnishings are simple, including a font designed in the style of the 13th century.
