St Mark's is a parish church in the Church of England in Washwood Heath, Birmingham.[1]

History

Building of the church started in 1890. The church was extended in 1894 with the addition of two bays of the nave with north and south aisles.[2] In 1898 to 1899 a further extension of the nave and aisles was undertaken and a baptistry and steeple were built.[3] The church was consecrated in 1899.

A parish was formed in 1907 when land was taken out of St Saviour's Church, Saltley.

It is under the care of the Bishop of Oswestry and follows the Anglo-Catholic tradition in its liturgy.

Organ

The church contained an organ by F.W. Ebrall. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[4]
