The Parish of Rotherfield with Mark Cross

The Parish of Rotherfield with Mark Cross was formed in January 2025, with the joining of the separate parishes of St Denys', Rotherfield and St Mark's, Mark Cross, which had previously been in a joint benefice. 

We are an open, inclusive, evangelical parish.  We are currently in interregnum, but continue to offer a regular pattern of services, which is a mixture of both modern and traditional.   We offer a warm welcome to all and aim to provide a variety of services for families and for our more senior congregants.
