Description
The Chapel of St Mark is a building that was originally a barn before being converted into a chapel in 1909. It dates back to the 17th century and was restored after a fire in 1912, with further extensions added to the left in the 20th century. The structure is made of red brick set on a brown brick plinth, topped with a plain tiled roof. A lead cupola with chevron decoration sits above, featuring a wooden clock stage with slatted sides and a square ogee dome, which is crowned by a weathervane.
The chapel has a gable end facing the street and stands two storeys tall, with an incised crucifix in the gable and an angle buttress on the right. The first floor features a four-light wooden mullioned leaded casement window with arched lights, a tiled cill, and a brick label moulding above. The central west door is arched and decorated with trefoil designs in the spandrels, set under a flat label moulding. On the right side of the building, there are two buttresses, and another similar leaded window is located at the left end. To the right, there is a ribbed door within a leaded window surround. An office extension is attached to the left, which is one storey with an attic under a flat roof dormer, while a two-storey hipped roof pavilion is located at the far left end.
Inside, the chapel features three bays with braces on corbel stops supporting an arched timber roof. There is a wood lintelled opening on the left side and a blocked opening on the south side. The chancel is situated to the east, behind a similar flat-roofed opening. The early 20th-century panelling in the chancel is carved to resemble pseudo rib-vaulting, and there is a triple sedilia on the north side. A gallery extends across the west end, supported by large braces.
