Background
History
The Rev. E.T. Williams and the architect Mr E.E Dennis designed the church featuring the strong designs of Norman Architecture. Construction began In 1925 using Rainhill Sandstone red brick. This is the same material as used to build Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. The builders, J.R Fielding & Sons had the services of Mr Tom Roberts, master stonemason and wood-carver Mr J.R Bell. The building was completed in time for the newly enthroned Bishop of Blackburn, Dr. Percy Herbert, to consecrate the Church of St Mark, Layton on 27 September 1927. Tom Roberts fixed 9,000 cubic feet of stone in addition to the carvings seen particularly in the Sanctuary and the carvings of J. R. Bell.
