 St Mark's Church was built in 1883 as a daughter church of St John's, at the instigation of members of the congregation who found it difficult to get to St. John's in bad weather. The land was given by Bishop Sumner who was the Bishop of Winchester at the time. The community helped by collecting flints from the common to build the walls. Local children acted as the models for the wall paintings in the chancel.
