St Mark's, Biggin Hill TN16 Maybe this should be classified as a church-with-telephone-antennae ... perhaps the vicar exchanges texts with the Almighty? Although consecrated in 1959, work was not completed on St Mark's Church until 1975. It replaced a temporary building, of timber clad in corrugated iron, which dated from 1903.
