St Mark's Church is in Buncer Lane, in the former parish of Witton, Blackburn, Lancashire, England. It is a redundant Anglican church in the deanery of Blackburn with Darwen, the archdeaconry of Blackburn, and the diocese of Blackburn. It was put up for sale in 2018.[1] Originally a separate parish, in 2005 it combined with the parish of St Luke with St Philip to form the Parish of Christ the King.[2] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[3]
