The church of Saint Mark was built between 1826 and 1828
by William Chadwell Mylne, surveyor to the New River Company, in the centre of
the Company's new residential estate. It was intended as a chapel of ease for
Saint James, Clerkenwell. It is in mixed Gothic style with a 90 foot high west
tower, and a traceried and pinnacled porch. The New River Company stipulated
that the surrounding enclosure should not be 'appropriated as a cemetery'. The
church suffered serious war damage but was later restored.
The church is Grade II listed and the entry, at English Heritage, reads:
"Parish church. 1827. By William Chadwell Mylne, architect. Victorian Gothic
style in brick with stone dressings and stone west end. C20 post-war
reconstruction of roof and interior. Three-bay nave, two-bay chancel and
narthex. West porch with traceried screen above and flanked by shafts with
crocketed finials fronting stone west tower, with traceried parapet and
crocketed finials to angle buttresses. INTERIOR: : Nave originally galleried on
3 sides but serious war damage left bare brick interior box with stone butresses
and floor; chancel with stone reredos in Gothic style, C20 acoustical ceiling
supported by plain metal C20 columns; stained glass to E window by A.E. Buss of
Goddard and Gibbs (1962) showing the Ascension, and incorporating scenes of
local importance. Small narthex in original condition with shallow cross
vaulting, plain painted plaster walls and original Gothic style wood panelled
doors."
