Description

St Mark's Anglican Church has been a centrepiece of the Camberwell community for over 100 years, with its first service taking place in 1913 and the current building erected in 1928.

Its Gothic character and broach spire have cemented it as a visual fixture of the bustling urban landscape on the corner of Canterbury and Burke Roads.

Notable features include the memorial Chapel of St George which remembers those who served in World War I, the historic pipe organ, and an impressive collection of stained glass windows designed by Napier and Christian Waller.

The windows construct a moving visual narrative comprised of saints, Bible stories and significant figures in Anglican history. However, they also bear witness to the evolving community of St. Mark’s, and the impact parishioners have had on its culture of giving and togetherness.

St Mark’s continues to thrive as a church and forms an integral part of the vibrant cultural landscape of Boroondara. To this day, St Mark's serves the surrounding areas through various charitable initiatives, community outreach, and its regular Sunday services.
