St Mark's Church, Church building in Sydenham, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The cruciform structure of St Mark's Church includes a bell tower containing ten bells installed in 1955 for change ringing patterns.

The construction of St Mark's Church started in May 1876 under architect William Butterfield and received consecration on August 22, 1878.

The church holds significance as the baptism site of C.S. Lewis, who later donated a window with his brother Warren in memory of their parents.

The building underwent restoration work in 1976 to maintain its architectural elements and received Grade A listing status for its historical importance.

A door knocker at the rectory, built in 1887, bears connections to the creation of the character Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia.
