Description
The Church of St Mark is a parish church built in 1853. It features rock-faced ashlar with rusticated and tooled ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs. The building includes a west tower with an octagonal stair turret at the southeast angle, a 4-bay nave with a south porch, and a 2-bay chancel with an adjoining vestry on the north side. The church has a chamfered plinth and a two-stage tower with diagonal buttresses that have offsets. The tall first stage of the tower has a pointed 2-light Y-traceried west window with a hoodmould, and a similar window above it. There is a shouldered-arched door to the stair turret with a single-light window above. A moulded string course runs around the tower, which features banded angle shafts, single lancets with hoodmoulds and wooden louvres in the belfry, a clock face on the west side, and a dentilled moulded eaves cornice. The spire is splay-footed and octagonal, topped with a plain finial and weathercock.
The nave has diagonal buttresses and additional buttresses between the bays, with lancet windows that also have hoodmoulds. The porch has a pointed chamfered outer arch with a hoodmould, flanked by buttresses, and a pointed chamfered inner arch. The chancel features diagonal buttresses, lancet windows with hoodmoulds, and a pointed 3-light east window with stepped lancets and a hoodmould, along with a small pointed oval light above. All the windows have rock-faced rusticated jambs, tooled mullions, and reveals. The church has dentilled eaves cornices and coped gables throughout, with cross finials on the nave and porch.
Inside, there are pointed double-chamfered arches for the tower and chancel, featuring a corbelled inner order and a continuous outer chamfer. The nave roof is a 4-bay single hammer-beam design with corbelled wall posts, moulded arch braces, and slender timbers. There is also a polygonal font with a moulded shaft.
