Summary

[edit]
Description
English: St Mark's, a catlover's church, near to Camden Town, Camden, Great Britain.

A Victorian Gothic church built around 1850 to cater for the expansion in the population of the St Pancras district, it was high Anglican and known as the Zoo church owing to its proximity to Regent's Park. During WW2 it received a direct hit from a German bomb and was all but destroyed. Although it was the first London church to be rebuilt after the war, it took 17 years and was largely due to the efforts of the then incumbent the Rev. Hugh Stuckey, a catlover whose cats were immortalised in the new stained glass windows.
