St Anne's Church is an

archdeaconry of Lancaster. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building
.

History and administration

St Anne's Church was built in 1872–73 as a

baptistry,[6] followed by repairs in and a memorial vestry in 1929–31.[7]

St Anne's was designated a Grade II

archdeaconry of Lancaster and the Deanery of Kirkham. Both the parish and benefice are called St Anne (Heyhouses).[9]

Architecture

Exterior

The church is constructed in a mixed

English bond with sandstone dressings; the roof has red tiles.[5] Its plan consists of a nave and chancel under one roof, a west tower, north and south aisles, south transept, a baptistery west of the tower and a memorial lady chapel to the north of the chancel.[1][5]

The tower is square and has two stages, buttresses on the west side, and a stair turret[1] It has a stepped parapet with corner pinnacles.[5]

Interior and furnishings

There is an organ chamber with an arch that has overlapping brick and basketwork.[1] The lady chapel has a reredos in Caen stone. Stained glass includes work by John Hayward, and by E. H. Jewitt of the Lancaster-based firm Shrigley and Hunt.[10][1]

Churchyard

Lychgate to churchyard of St Anne's

The churchyard of St Anne's is triangular.[11] There is a sandstone memorial to six members of the St Anne's Laura Janet lifeboat crew who died attempting to rescue the Mexico in the 1886 Southport and St Anne's lifeboats disaster.[12] A memorial to more of the crew members that were lost is in the churchyard of St Cuthbert's in Lytham. The footballer and manager Harry Catterick is buried in the churchyard.

The churchyard is accessed by a rectangular Tudor-style lychgate, built of timber with a roof of red tile.[11] The churchyard is enclosed by a red brick wall. Together, the lychgate and boundary wall have been given a Grade II designation from English Heritage.[11]
