The foundation stone of the church dedicated to St Anne was laid by Mrs Mary Lee of Alder House (whose husband Thomas laid the foundation stone for nearby St John the Baptist Church in Atherton).

The  church designed by Lancaster Architects Austin & Paley and was completed in 1901 at a cost of £9,000. It provided seating for 450 people and was built on land given by Lord Lilford.

The building is constructed in sandstone with a slate roof in a gothic revival style, it consists of a four bay nave, North and South aisle, a South trancept, two bay chancel and vestry.  

The building was refurbished in 2004 and turned into apartments.

I was a member of the choir there about 1964!
Choir mistress was Mrs Wright
Saturday weddings we got half a crown (12.5p) each if we turned up.

Hi Chris. How interesting, you were in the choir in 1964!
I live in one of the apartments in the church and I’m trying to find interior photos when it was the actual church before the apartments were added. Could you help please ?

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
