Church Of St Mark

The Church of St Mark is a church built in 1847 by Henry Woodyer. It is constructed from coursed Bargate stone with ashlar dressings and features a steeply pitched plain tiled roof topped with a chevron-patterned lead fleche and a stone bellcote at the west end. The church has a nave with a bellcote to the west, a south porch, a chancel to the east, a vestry to the northeast, and a chapel to the south. The west end is supported by angled buttresses, and there are two-light cusped tracery windows on the north and south sides, along with a three-light window to the west that has a stone clock face above it. The east end has diagonal buttresses. The south porch is heavy timber framed and gabled, featuring a cusped bargeboard, cusped bracing at the entrance, and arched openings on the sides over stone plinth walls. The roof includes cusped wind braces. The planked south door is set in a chamfered and roll-moulded stone surround. Inside, there is a tiled floor, a king-post nave roof, and a panelled and painted chancel roof. The pulpit is cusped and braced with paneling, and there is a stout stone font supported by a squat cluster of piers. This church was Woodyer's first project.
