St Mark's Church: Heartache as huge blaze destroys 'historic treasure' that stood 175 years

The site where a historic church was gutted by a huge blaze is still smouldering this morning after 80 firefighters battled for close to four hours to get the fire under control overnight.

Yellow flames could be seen lighting up the sky along with billowing smoke from St Mark's Church in St John's Wood, in north London after the fire broke out at 11.19pm on Thursday.

It took hold of the historic building in Hamilton Terrace overnight as a dozen fire engines were dispatched from around the area in a bid to bring the blaze under control.
