Administrative history
Land was donated by Mr. John Sparrow in 1867 and the church was built the same year. In 1892, St. Mark's was moved from the farm of Mr. Sparrow to the village of Cumberland as the majority of Anglicans lived there. During the move, services were held in a hall and an increased attendance was a result of the change. Renovations were undertaken at St. Mark's in 1935 and 1955. The 125th anniversary of St. Mark's, Cumberland was celebrated in 1992. An addition was completed and renovations made to the church in 1999.
