St. Mark's has beautiful stained glass windows. One of these is dedicated to Mary Sumner, founder of the Mother's Union. It is said to be the only window of its kind in the country. A second unique window depicts Richard Oastler (1789-1861), the famous campaigner for the rights of working children. Situated on the West wall is a large memorial window. Worthy of note is a Biggin Hill plaque in memory of Squadron Leader Guy Turner, a former choirboy of St. Mark's. Children enjoy searching for the 'Thompson' mice on various pieces of furniture.
