St Mark's Church, Preston, Grade II* listed church in Preston, England.
St Mark's Church features Gothic Revival architecture with sandstone ashlar walls, a slate roof, and a prominent northeast tower built to rival nearby churches.
The church was constructed in 1870 under the supervision of architect Edward Graham Paley at a cost of £6,594, equivalent to £800,000 in modern currency.
The structure evolved from a religious center to residential flats while maintaining its architectural elements, reflecting the changing needs of Preston's community.
The building now functions as residential units, with modernized features including new windows and balconies integrated into the original Gothic Revival design.
The northeast tower was intentionally constructed taller to compete with the steeple of St Walburge's Roman Catholic Church in the Preston skyline.
