St Ann’s Church is an unpretentious but serviceable building.  

Prior to the construction of this church the parish worshipped in a temporary hut. The present church, designed by C. W. Glover & Partners, was erected on the same site in 1950.  Five years later the apsidal sanctuary was replaced with a square one designed by the architect Justin H. Alleyn.  In 1960 the organ loft was added to the building, while the following decade saw the construction of the present porch by W. F. J. Nicholson.

The church stands on rising ground, screened by trees from the noise of the four lane Brighton Road. It is a simple rectangular structure, built in brick with paired lancet windows and a tiled roof. An extension has been built adjacent to the east end of the church making the overall shape of the building into an L.
