Saint Marks Surbiton

Categories: Religion

The oldest church in Surbiton, dating back to 1845.On St Marks Hill at the junction with Church Hill Road.

During the course of the 19th century, it was extended, and the spire added towards the end of the century. St Mark's suffered severe bomb damage during the London Blitz of 1940. Its spire survived but the roof and much of the chancel was destroyed, and the graves in the churchyard scattered. The church was closed for two decades before being reopened in 1960, after major restoration work. During this time a temporary church hall with a tin roof was used for worship.
