St Mark was built in 1842 as a chapel of ease in the parish of St Peter for the hamlet of Little Common. It was designed by Major Vidler and comprised an aisleless nave with a west tower. Much of the material is said to have come from a nearby Martello tower. In 1857 the chapel became a district church and Henry Woodyer (1816-96) designed a new chancel with lancets, again using Martello stone.

A separate parish was constituted in 1867 and Woodyer returned in 1885 to add a broad, gabled south aisle, also with lancets and a five-bay arcade with round piers into which the moulded heads merge. He also heightened the chancel arch, building a replacement stone belfry at the west end. In 1931 a vestry was added at the north east corner of the nave, replacing one of 1885. Its arch resembles that opposite on the south side and it was intended as the start of a north aisle by T Moore and Moore, however, no more was done until 1962, when J D Wylson added an aisle, separated from the nave by a long single very depressed arch with simplified gothic detail, effectively incorporating the vestry of 1931 as a transept to the east of the aisle. Wylson died during the work, which was completed by his partner, R C Cox. Cox also probably designed the south porch added in 1970.
