History of St Mark's Church
How the Church Started
St Mark's Church began as a small meeting place in 1908. It was known as the Stockland Green mission room. This mission room was part of a larger church called St Barnabas' Church, Erdington.
Building the New Church
In 1920, the mission room was officially named after St Mark. A few years later, a brand new church building was constructed. This new church opened its doors in 1934. It was designed by an architect named A T Gray. The building is made of brick and has a distinctive low shape with a roof that slopes steeply.
Forming Its Own Parish
Also in 1934, St Mark's Church became a parish church. This means it was given its own special area or community to serve. Land for this new parish was taken from the area previously covered by All Saints' Church, Gravelly Hill.
