About Us

St Mark's is a friendly, welcoming church which seeks to share the love of God with our local community and the wider world.

A church was originally built for the mill workers of Dolphinholme but lasted for only 60 years. It was replaced by the current church, designed by the famous architects Austin and Paley, in the 14th century Gothic style, and consecrated on the same site in 1899. The design of the church is enhanced by the quality of the light entering through its clear windows, reflecting the simple beauty of the church. The churchyard, which has been recently extended, delights the eye with crocuses and daffodils each spring.

We look forward to welcoming you to our church and the beautiful area in which we live and work.
