Description

The former Church of St Mark, now converted into flats, was built in 1848 by Charles Dyer. The building is constructed from pennant rubble with limestone dressings and features an ashlar spire, topped with a slate roof. Designed in the Norman Revival style, it has an apsidal nave and a north tower. The rounded apse includes six semicircular-arched windows on attached columns, connected by a sill band.

The north elevation has five bays, featuring flat-headed ground floor windows from around 1990 with zigzag patterned lintels, and round-arched first-floor windows adorned with scalloped capitals and slender colonnettes, separated by buttresses. The three-stage tower, located one bay from the west, has angle buttresses and a north round-arched door that resembles the first-floor windows. The belfry windows are lancet-shaped, created by an interlacing arcade of round arches with chevron archivolts and colonnettes, topped by a stepped ashlar pyramid roof decorated with mythical animals on the ridges. The south elevation mirrors the five bays of the north side.

At the west end, there is a round-arched doorway with a chevron-moulded archivolt set within a weathered, projecting porch, beneath a large wheel window featuring ten spokes leading to a central round light. Celtic crosses are positioned at either end of the nave. The interior has not been inspected.
