The Congregation of St Marks warmly welcome you to join them for a visit or for worship. St Mark's is set in a rural village and the church reflects this. As you drive through Hadlow Down on the A272 you cannot fail to see this stunning church. The churchyard participates in the national natural churchyard scheme, therefore there is much wildlife to be found around the outside of the church. St Mark's Church has very strong links with the local school and is very much a family-orientated church. Parish Eucharist services take place on 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays with a family oriented Jubilate communion service on the 2nd Sunday and an all-age service on 4th Sundays.
