St. Mark's was built in 1794 and demolished in 1998. An article pre-dating the building says: "Such was the spiritual destitution of the benighted folks of Cheetham Hill, Crumpsall, and Broughton that between the ancient parish churches of Prestwich and Manchester there was neither a place for the solemnisation of divine worship nor for the interment of the dead." Today all that is left is a derelict churchyard with a few monuments.

An old area of Manchester, now home to a real mix of cultures.

The graveyard is now derelict, the railings shabby, the gates padlocked.

All that is there today is this sorry array of flattened gravestones, and a few memorials.

St. Mark's was built in 1794 and demolished in 1998. When submitting these pictures I found the outline of the church still shows on the Geograph map, which was useful as I hadn't known for sure exactly where the church stood. An article pre-dating the building says: "Such was the spiritual destitution of the benighted folks of Cheetham Hill, Crumpsall, and Broughton that between the ancient parish churches of Prestwich and Manchester there was neither a place for the solemnisation of divine worship nor for the interment of the dead." All that is left now is a lot of litter, flattened gravestones and a few battered memorials. This view is taken approaching the area along Copthall Lane, off Cheetham Hill Road.
