History

The Reverend Benjamin Glennie had a plan to establish the (then) Church of England on the Darling Downs through four churches in the larger towns named after the four apostles: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The first St Mark's church was constructed in 1858 by the Reverend Benjamin Glennie. It was a simple slab structure and in 1868 Glennie decided a more durable building would be desirable. The second (and current) church was designed by architect Richard George Suter. The foundation stone was laid by Bishop Edward Tufnell on 19 March 1868.

Description

The church is made of sandstone in a crucifix shape with a tower. The roof is (modern) COLORBOND steel.

Heritage listing

The church was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.
