St Marks Parish was built by Dove Bros of Islington to the design of architect Chester Cheston. The land on which it stands was given by the Lord of the Manor, W.A. Tyssen Amhurst, for whom Mr Cheston was surveyor.
The building work began in 1864 with the foundation stone being laid by the Earl of Shewsbury. The church was finished and consecrated in 1870 although the tower was added seven years later to the design of E.L. Blackburne.
