St Mark's Church, Brithdir :: Shared Description
St Mark's Church in Brithdir is hidden by trees and is easily missed when driving past. It is well worth stopping and visiting. St Mark's was built in 1895-8 in memory of Rev. Charles Tooth who had founded an Anglican church in Florence; he died in 1894. His widow Louisa (they had only been married a few months) commissioned Arts and Crafts architect J.D. Sedding and his assistant Henry Wilson to build a church reflecting her late husband's Italian connections. Sedding died early on and the work was completed by Henry Wilson. Before marrying Charles Tooth, Louisa had been a widow for some twenty years; her first husband R.M. Richards was of nearby Caerynwch which is why the church was built here. The church is one of the finest examples of an Arts and Crafts church in Wales and is in the care of Friends of Friendless Churches.
