We are an active and friendly parish Church in the City of Newport and are part of the Church in Wales. We are seeking to grow as a vibrant Church for people of all ages. Our parish life, worship and mission bring an inclusive mix of traditional and contemporary approaches – we are aiming to develop with something for all people and all ages as we worship God and seek to follow Jesus Christ. We are committed to an exciting future with new and energetic leadership through the newly developed Newport North West Ministry Area.
St Marks is a beautiful Victorian Gothic style Church in central Newport. It has an elegant tower which has both a rose window with fine tracery and also a well-wrought quarterly chiming clock. Works of art include beautifully quilted banners depicting the life of St Mark designed and worked by members of the congregation. There are a series of lovely stained glass windows dating from the nineteenth century. The Victorian Connacher Organ has been restored and augmented by Nicholson’s of Great Malvern. The Church was built by Habershon’s a local firm of architects, who were also responsible for the Victorian restoration of St Woolos Cathedral, and it was consecrated in 1874.

The people of St Mark’s Parish are extremely grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their considerable help and guidance enabling us to realise the potential of this magnificent building to serve the community.
St Mark’s has the capacity to seat approximately 480 people and has a parish room with a separate heating system and small buttery kitchen. We are seeking to encourage local community groups to use this excellent facility.
More recent work has included extensive restoration to the roof and stonework as well as the process of removing pews to be substituted with chairs as this allows flexibility in the use of the nave. The church is used not only for worship but is clearly available to the community at large
