The church of Saint Mark, Notting Hill, was built in 1863 in the middle of fields west of Ladbroke Grove. The building is in a Gothic style with bands of brick and stone, flying buttresses and a spire. In 1871 the average congregation numbered over 1,000 drawn from 'both the higher middle class and the poor'.

The architect was E. Bassett Keeling and the builders, Dove Brothers. It cost £6,000 and provided 1,486 sittings, 500 of which were free: the Church was consecrated on 27 November 1863. In the Building News of 1869 it was described as 'an atrocious specimen of coxcombry in architecture'. Pevsner naming the architect as Basset Keeling 'with all the ham-fisted ugliness which he commanded. A madly asymmetrical facade with a South West spire and a wild use of multi-coloured brick.'

The building has since been considerably modified.
