1881: a small group of people began to worship under the lamp in the centre of the roundabout by the railway station.
1891: They raised enough to build the small church, which is still standing on Gloucester Road, closer to the shops and railway station.
2006: after a massive fund raising effort by the congregation, the interior of the church was completely redesigned to accommodate all aspects of modern worship.
2012: saw the refurbishment of the church rooms & modernisation of the kitchen to serve the modern mission of today
1911: having outgrown the original building, further fund-raising resulted in the current building. Following a devasting fire in 1944, the church family rallied and after 5 years of restoration work, reopened St Mark's in 1949.
