Description
The Church of St Mark is a parish church dating to 1827, designed by William Chadwell Mylne. It is constructed in the Victorian Gothic style using brick with stone dressings, and features a stone west end. Following post-war damage, the roof and interior were reconstructed in the 20th century. The church comprises a three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, and a narthex. The west end features a porch with a traceried screen above, flanked by shafts with crocketed finials, and a stone tower with a traceried parapet and crocketed finials to the angle buttresses.
The interior of the nave was originally galleried on three sides, but extensive war damage resulted in a bare brick interior, exposing stone buttresses and the floor. The chancel contains a stone reredos in Gothic style, and has a 20th-century acoustical ceiling supported by plain metal columns. The east window contains stained glass by A.E. Buss of Goddard and Gibbs (1962), depicting the Ascension and scenes of local importance. The small narthex remains in its original condition, with shallow cross vaulting, plain painted plaster walls, and original Gothic style wood panelled doors.
