St. Mark's churchyard contains the unmarked grave of Charles Irwin V.C..
The deed to grant the ground for the church and cemetery is dated 1st May, 1817. The petition to consecrate the church is dated 19th August 1824 and the actual ceremony took place the next day. The stone above the door reads "To the Glory of God 1820".
The Ecclesiastical Commissioners Report of 1836 states the church was erected in 1819 as a chapel of ease for Clones so it may be that the building was actually in use in 1820 or perhaps that was when the building got under way. The church was extended between 1834 and 1865 probably to include the present chancel. Up to 1872 there was no resident rector, the parish being administered as part of Clones parish. In that year, the select vestry, meeting in the school-house, were authorised to advertise for a Rector.
