Description
The Church of St. Mark, built between 1897 and 1899 by the architectural firm Austin & Paley, is constructed of snecked sandstone rubble and features a green slate roof, with the north aisle currently felted. The church consists of a nave with a north aisle and porch, a crossing tower with a north transept and a south lean-to, and a chancel. The north aisle includes four windows, each with two cusped ogee lights set under flat heads. The porch features a doorway with a pointed head and a hood, topped by a gable with a shallow pitch and a cross finial.
The tower has a stair turret at its southeast corner, buttresses on the east and west sides, and a solid parapet raised at the corners. It is capped with a slate pyramid roof adorned with a weather vane. The bell openings in the tower have trefoiled lights under flat heads. On the south side, above the lean-to roof, there is a three-light window with a segmental head and hood. The chancel is marked by two-light windows with pointed heads on both the north and south sides, while the east window features five lights with reticulated tracery.
The south nave wall is divided into three bays, each containing windows with three, three, and two ogee-headed lights under pointed heads. A doorway with a pointed head is located to the west. Inside, the nave arcade consists of three bays with segmental arches that are hollow-chamfered in two orders and supported by octagonal piers. The crossing arches are pointed, with hollow chamfers that die into the responds. The boarded nave roof features six trusses with braced raised tie beams, collars, and queen struts. The chancel includes a trefoiled piscina and a roof with a raised tie beam, king post, and arch-braced collar, which is boarded at the level of the arch braces.
