St Mark's Church, Dolphinholme, Gothic Revival church in Dolphinholme, England.
St Mark's Church is a sandstone building with a three-bay nave, north aisle, and chancel arranged in a traditional layout. A tower topped with a pyramidal roof and weathervane rises at the crossing.
Austin and Paley, architects based in Lancaster, designed this church in 1897 as a replacement for an earlier building. It was built to serve the mill workers and their families in the expanding industrial community.
The church maintains close ties with the local school through its vicar's leadership role. These connections shape how the community comes together for both religious and educational purposes.
The church holds regular worship services on Sundays and welcomes visitors throughout the week. Those interested in attending specific gatherings or events should check ahead for current schedules and opening times.
The building stands out for its large clear windows that flood the interior with natural light. These are complemented by twentieth-century stained glass windows showing Saint Mark and Saint Peter.
