St Mark the Evangelist Church is a Church of England parish church in Upper Hale, Surrey. It is a red brick structure, fairfaced inside and out, with an aisle-less nave and small chancel adorned with a "fine" and "original" set of murals by local artist Kitty Milroy. The church was consecrated in 1883. St Mark's is a daughter church to St John the Evangelist Church, Hale, Surrey. The church was built largely due to the efforts of the Vicar of Hale, John Powell, encouraged by many parishioners, tradition has it that the locals collected flints from the common to build the walls. The parishioners of the larger houses in Hale worshipped at St John's but the servants couldn't attend because they were working at that time. St John's was at the southernmost edge of the parish and the servants were too scared to walk in the dark. Consequently, the vicar started services for the servants at the local school. When the congregation had grown large it was clear that another church was needed in the parish. More information...
