CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The history of the church of Saint Mark, Noel Park, begins in 1884 when work commenced on the Noel Park Estate and services were held by Revd R.B. Dowling in a shop in Lymington Avenue. A site in Gladstone Avenue for the church, vicarage and a hall had already been purchased, with the help of the Bishop of London's Fund. The church hall was opened on 25 March 1885. The church of St Mark was consecrated on 1 November 1889, when an ecclesiastical district was assigned by the Ecclesiastical commissioners from part of Saint Michael's, Wood Green.
The Walsham-How Mission Hall was opened in 1913. It is named after Bishop Walsham-How, first Bishop of Wakefield, who encouraged the people of his native Shropshire to adopt the parish of Saint Mark as their county mission. This money was raised in Shropshire to erect the mission hall, which would be supported by the Shropshire Mission to East London.
St Mark's (Noel Park) Institute co-ordinated social societies connected with St Mark's, and their finances.
