St Mark's Church, Dolphinholme

The sandstone church features a three-bay nave, a north aisle, a chancel, and a tower with a pyramidal roof and weathervane at the crossing.

The Lancaster architects Austin and Paley designed this Grade II listed church in 1897 to replace an earlier structure that served mill workers.

The church maintains strong connections with Dolphinholme School, where the vicar serves as Chair of Governors, fostering educational and religious partnerships.

St Mark's Church provides regular Common Worship Holy Communion services and family gatherings on Sundays within the Diocese of Blackburn.

The church features clear windows that enhance natural light, complemented by twentieth-century stained glass depicting Saint Mark and Saint Peter.
