Churchwardens & Parochial Church Council

Churchwardens

St Mark’s has two Churchwardens who are elected to represent the lay members and work closely with the vicar. The Churchwardens are legally responsible for the church buildings and possessions.  At St Mark’s, Churchwardens generally stay in post for 3 years and are elected by those on the church electoral roll, at the Annual Parochial Committee Meeting, held in April or May every year. 

In order to spread the Churchwardens' workload, St Mark’s has up to 4 Deputy Wardens, who are also elected by the church members. 

Our Churchwardens are:

Jane Artis
