Description
The Church of St Mark is an Anglican church built between 1872 and 1874 by architect William White. It is constructed of stock brick with red brick dressings and features a diaper pattern over a mass concrete core, topped with a tiled roof. The church has a four-bay nave with north aisles and a tower at the south-west corner, which supports a wooden belfry and a broad-eaved shingled broach spire. There is a raised chancel and an ambulatory above a crypt, along with a gabled south porch that leads into a small south transept.
Inside, the four-bay nave arcade does not align with the more regularly spaced clerestory above. The arcade features concrete piers with naturalistic stone-carved capitals by Harry Hems. The aisled windows, one of which contains fragmentary stained glass, have marble sills. The chancel includes an apsidal sanctuary set within round brick piers of the ambulatory, with gilded spandrels painted with emblems. The tiled floor has inset panels designed by J R Clayton. The choir stalls, pulpit, and font, which is raised on a tiled and stone stepped plinth, are also designed by White. The altar is positioned on a stone plinth behind low brass rails. At the east end, the ambulatory descends to the crypt, which features octagonal brick piers and lierne brick vaults.
