Background
History
Founded in 1714 as a chapel within the parish of Kingston on ancient royal manorial land dedicated by Queen Anne, St Anne's Church has been extended several times since: St Anne's present parish hall, at right angles to the church and incorporating the previous choir vestry, was built in 1978. Its design echoes the materials and forms of the original church building.
