Ten Mile Bank

St Mark’s is a small church in the Norfolk Fens, built in 1846 and 2021 saw its 175th birthday. Originally built on the banks of the River Great Ouse for railway and river workers, St Mark’s is a Chapel of Ease affiliated to nearby Hilgay church.

In the early 2000’s, St Mark’s was condemned and due to be demolished due to extensive subsidence. Villagers worked tirelessly to raise the funds required in order to restore the church. At a cost of several hundred thousand pounds, the church was restored in around 2010.
