St Mark’s 140th Birthday Barn Dance – Friday, 14th
Join us at St Mark’s, Upper Hale, on the evening of Friday, July 14th, for a barn dance to celebrate the 140th birthday of the church. The doors will open at 6.30pm and the music will start at around 7pm.
Admission is free (donations welcome) and please bring your own refreshments, though tea, coffee, squash and cake will be on sale.
St Mark’s was opened in July 1883 as the daughter church of St John’s in Hale, to enable the residents of Upper Hale to get to church as many of them struggled to get down to St John’s. It was built by local residents using flint from the Common on land given by Bishop Sumner, Bishop of Winchester.
The church, now a Grade II listed building, is home to the Kitty Milroy murals, now recognised as key in the development of mural art in the 20th century, and the work of an unsung major talent. The murals were restored in 2021 and were shortlisted for a Surrey Heritage Award. It also houses ‘Emily‘, a fine Edwardian pipe organ.
St Mark’s is a working church and services are held every Sunday at 11am and Wednesday at 12noon.
Coffee Artz at St Mark’s
It’s Coffee Artz again this week, on Thursday, June 15th, 10.30am to 12noon at St Mark’s Church.
Coffee Artz takes place on the first and third Thursday of each month and each time the group takes a different theme to inspire the art. No artistic skill is needed, no experience is needed and the equipment is all provided. Coffee, chat and cake are also provided!
To find out more email Elaine Fell.
