About
St Anne's Church is a Church of England parish church in the Greenbank area of Bristol. Originally built as a temporary mission hall in the early 20th century to designs by George Oatley, the structure was later converted into a permanent church by P. Hartland Thomas.

Background
History
In the late 19th century, the Greenbank area transitioned from agricultural land to a dense residential district, prompting the Church Extension Commission under Bishop Ellicott to acquire a site for a new place of worship in 1889. The site for the church was secured through the Supplementary Commission, which successfully funded the acquisition of the sites for both St Anne's Church and St Katharine's Church, Bishopston, despite the commission's shortcomings in fundraising. The site, costing £800, was large enough to accommodate a future church, parsonage, and mission hall. This never came to fruition and instead, facilities were expanded through the addition of a church room in 1908–1909.…
Architecture
The building was designed in an Early Gothic Revival style, constructed of red Pennant stone with freestone dressings. The interior masonry was originally left pointed rather than plastered, with a varnished pine roof open to the ridge timber. The original organ was a two-manual instrument built by J.G. Haskins and Co. of Bristol. Dedicated on 17 January 1912 by the Rev. Canon Alford, it cost £260 to install. The instrument was specifically designed to be compact and movable, in anticipation of the larger church project that never materialised. It was later replaced with the W. G. Vowles organ, with casing, taken from the redundant St Mark's Church.
