The former St Mark’s Church Hall was built in 1875 as St Mark’s Parochial School, to designs by the local architect, William Watkins. When built, it lay a short distance north of St Mark’s Church, one of Lincoln’s medieval parish churches which had been completely rebuilt in 1871. The school was known as St Mark’s Sunday School by 1913, and remained in ancillary use to nearby St Mark’s Church until the mid 20th century. In 1972, after many years of redundancy, St Mark’s Church was demolished and the Church Hall passed to the RSPCA who continue to use the building as a shop. The building is designed in a High Victorian Gothic Revival style, being constructed of red and dark brown brick with stone dressings, timber details and a roof covering of slate.
