ST MARK’S in the Cherry Orchard is the delightfully named church in a southern suburb of Worcester.Its foundation stone was officially laid on June 21, 1902. St Mark’s began life as only “a mission church” – an offshoot or outpost of the large-scale Parish of St Peter’s. For more than three decades, St Mark’s remained a mission church under the wing of St Peter’s. But a major milestone came in 1936, when it was designated “a conventional district”, making it a completely independent church with its own incumbent and own parochial church council. The natural progression from this came in 1955 with the official creation of the Parish of St Mark’s in the Cherry Orchard (Family Search Parish History)
