Overview
Grid reference: SD 200 695
One of the temporary churches to be named after the four evangelists and all dedicated on the same day in 1878. The swift increase of population in Barrow, as a result of new industries, resulted in these four churches being built. Built of brick and timber to a design by Paley and Austin it is the history, not the aesthetic quality that makes the church significant; in fact St Mark's is the sole survivor. The construction is interesting and consists of a timber frame with in-filled brick panels. Another temporary church to suffer war damage in 1941 it was restored in 1946-51; Extensively altered and renovated in 1989 there is now a large meeting room above the entrance hall and toilets/ kitchen facilities. Re-ordering also took place in the main body of the church.
