The district of St Mark, which covered most of the electoral east ward, was previously part of the parish of SS Peter & Paul, Church Road. It became its own parish in 1905.
It is part of the diocese of Southwark, whose website says:
The church is built of soft red brick with Bath stone dressings and red/orange machine-made, plain clay tiles. There is a copper covered fleche with bell.
The copper at the base of the pointed spire (or ‘fleche’) has become green due to weathering.
