Church Of St Mark

The Church of St Mark is a church built between 1847 and 1848 by Shellard for the Church Commissioners. It is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar and slate roofs. The church features a three-sided gallery plan, a small chancel, and a west tower flanked by entrance bays. The nave has five bays and aisles but lacks a clerestory. Architectural details include a projecting stone plinth, a sill band, an eaves band, a coped parapet, and coped gables with octagonal corner pinnacles. Each bay contains paired lancets with colonnettes and weathered gableted buttresses that are angled at the corners. There is a door in the first bay with a sundial above it.

The five-stage tower has set-back buttresses that transform into octagonal corner columns at the fifth stage, rising as ornate pinnacles. It features a clock in the third stage and two-light belfry openings with a clock and parapet above. The chancel has a three-light geometrical tracery east window and an adjoining lean-to vestry. Inside, the five-bay nave has quatrefoil columns with moulded capitals and bases, a three-sided gallery with blind arcading to the parapet, and an organ at the west end. The chancel arch is double-chamfered and supported by corbelled colonnettes, and the roof is a hammer-beam design. The chancel features an arch-braced roof truss, along with a carved timber reredos and pulpit.
