St Mark's Church, Connah's Quay

St Mark's Church is an Anglican church building in Connah's Quay, constructed in yellow sandstone with Gothic Revival styling. The structure displays tall narrow lancet windows and a crenellated tower that form its most striking architectural features.

The building was constructed in 1836 as a parish church and underwent major alterations between 1876 and 1878 under architect John Douglas. These changes brought the addition of a chancel and organ chamber, significantly reshaping the structure's character.

The interior displays memorial tablets and brass plaques honouring local residents, alongside stained glass windows showing biblical scenes. These elements tell the story of the people who have shaped this place over generations.

Access to the church is available during service times, and visitors should check opening hours in advance. The building is conveniently located in central Connah's Quay and easy to reach, though parking nearby is limited.

The altar was dedicated in 1920 as a war memorial, giving it special significance in the building's local story. Notably, stones from the former Kelsterton Brewery were incorporated into the choir vestry, linking industrial heritage with the religious structure.
