The church of St. Mark's (new Swindon parish church) is close to the old Railway
Village and not far from the centre of Swindon's main shopping area. Next to St. Mark's
is Faringdon Road park, where many years ago G.W.R. fetes were held. Today it is a pleasant
space close to the town centre, where people walk their dogs and children play football.
This is one of those churches that is difficult to photograph because it is surrounded by
trees! However, we do have a few photographs taken from a distance - from Radnor Street
Cemetery from the top of a multi-storey car park..
