St Mark's Anglican Church, Warwick

St Mark's Church is a sandstone church building with a cruciform floor plan, arched windows, and a roof topped with a turreted belfry. The structure displays carefully laid stone blocks and underwent extensions in the 1930s while maintaining its original character.

The foundation stone of the current sandstone building was laid in 1868, replacing an earlier wooden church that served the congregation from 1858. Early 20th-century extensions followed the original design and reflected the growing community's confidence in the place.

The church served as the spiritual center of Warwick's growing community and reflects the religious values of early settlers. Visitors can see today how the interior craftsmanship and spatial design demonstrate the importance this place held for community gatherings.

When visiting, be aware that the building requires repairs and may have limited accessibility. Check opening times in advance and be prepared for possible access restrictions.

The sandstone blocks came from a single local quarry and give the building visual consistency that reflects its development over several decades. This material continuity shows how the community maintained a unified vision while expanding the structure.
