Church Of St Mark

The Church of St Mark is a parish church built in 1892 by TM Lockwood. It is constructed from Ruabon red brick and features a graded Westmorland green slate roof, presenting a simple yet elegant design. The layout includes a nave, a north porch, a north-east vestry, an apsidal chancel, an apsidal south chapel, and a ridge bellcote.

On the exterior, the west end showcases triple lancets beneath a relieving arch, flanked by stepped buttresses. The west bay on the north side contains a single lancet, while the gabled north porch is timber-framed on a high brick plinth, adorned with shaped plaster panels and oak-boarded double doors. The doors are set within an opening that features a lintel inscribed with "HOLINESS BECOMETH THINE HOUSE." The three eastern bays of the nave are supported by stepped buttresses and feature a mix of single and dual lancets. The vestry, which has a cross-gabled roof, includes a basket-arched boarded door on the west side and two lancets on the north.

The chancel apse is distinguished by a stone-dressed cusped lancet on each oblique face and paired lancets on the east face. The south chapel mirrors this with a cusped lancet on each side of the apse. To the south, an outshut features a pair of brick lancets, while the gable behind it has triple stone-dressed lancets. The steeple-bell-cote on the nave ridge has tapered slated sides, a tier of small shaped panels, three-tier louvres, and an octagonal belled steeple topped with a weathercock. The nave roof is equipped with three gabled louvred lucarnes on each side. A foundation stone on the north wall of the nave is inscribed "THIS STONE WAS LAID BY THE COUNTESS GROSVENOR AUGUST 6 1892."

Inside, the nave features a boarded floor, brick dado, plastered walls, four hammer-beam trusses, and exposed purlins and rafters. The font is supported by polished colonnettes, and the church retains its original pews. The chancel is more richly furnished and includes stained glass by Tower.
