Brief description
"Designed by Richard Gilbert Scott, 1959. The Moving Church On his appointment to Biggin Hill in 1951, Rev Vivian Symons had the vision to bring the materials for a new church building from the disused All Saints, North Peckham. But first, he had to deconstruct a huge Victorian church, and bring it by himself to its new site. However, St Mark's is Grade 2 listed, not because of its origin, but due to its style.
The design of St Mark's was to be completely different. The Moving Church has a unique form: a modernist building designed by George Gilbert Scott & Partners (a first commission for Richard Gilbert Scott). The external perpendicular style with tall stone window mullions masks the delightful internal barrel-vaulted roof structure and is a wonderful example of the architect’s style. When you enter the building, the effect is amazing."
