History

The church was designed by E. M. Bruce Vaughan. It was completed in 1886, [2] though at least one of the windows (west) dates from 1905. [3] The organ at St Anne's, dating from 1907, was made by Harrison & Harrison [4]

The church has a small hall which is the site of a memorial. It also acts as a polling station. St Anne's has no clerestory. The interior has a number of statues of famous preachers. [5]

In 2014, the church hosted services to recall the centenary of the First World War. Part of the service was at the Ynyshir Cenotaph [6] not far from the church. [7]

St Anne's closed in March of 2017, when Fr Paul Bigmore retired.
