Who we are
Ethelred of Wessex defeated the Danes in a skirmish at Englefield in AD871. The Englefield family however lived here before then, as mention is made of them in the reign of King Egbert in 803. It is also recorded that an Oratory or Chantry was then in existence in the Parish. This might have been sited further down the village where there is still a Chantry Lane.
The Parish Church, dedicated to St Mark, consists of a tower and a spire, nave, south aisle, chancel and north aisle (or Englefield Chapel). It was extensively restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1857. In 1868, the tower was added in thirteenth century style, surmounted by a stone broach spire. The earliest part of the church, the nave, dates from about the year 1190, when the Norman was giving way to the Early English style of architecture.

St Mark's Church Englefield History
Â
Light of the World
Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth... may we begin to see the world in the light of understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving. Amen.
