St Mark, locked no keyholder. Oh dear, I can't imagine what the good people of Friday Bridge were thinking of when, in 1864, they commissioned this monstrosity.
Pevsner is succinct: ST MARK. 1864 by J. B. Owen. Yellow brick, with W tower and spire.
Mee didn't bother but did mention a dubious Cromwell story in his Elm coverage viz:
The
traveller who finds himself a mile or so away at Friday Bridge may be
fortunate enough to see a storied relic of Oliver Cromwell preserved at
Needham Hall. It is an oak table from the old house of that name which
stood here, and it is said that Cromwell slept on the table, so that he
should be no better lodged than his soldiers.
