St Mark's church, Saltney

St Mark's was built in 1892 by T M Lockwood. The structure is Ruabon red brick and the roof is 'graded Westmorland slate'; it is Grade II listed. The perimeter wall is contemporaneous with the church but the Lych gate dates to 1920 and is separately listed Grade II. Analysis of the distances between marks on the surveyors schedule for the First Geodetic Levelling Chester to Flint section, seems to indicate that there was a bench mark at this location on a gate post on the south side of the road. However, the gatepost should be west of the brick works, which was actually west of it. Today the church is surrounded by housing.
