A modest interwar building, significantly altered and enlarged in 2001-02. 

Mass was held in a variety of temporary locations or in Crewe until the first St Anne’s opened on Welsh Row in 1856. Land was given for a new church in 1935 by Mary Sproston, a member of the Trafford family, and the new church costing £1,100 and seating about 200 was opened in March 1936. The architect was A.G. Bullen of Liverpool and the contractor T. Healey (Crewe Chronicle, 28 March 1936). The building was reordered and extended in 2001.

Description

The building is of simple traditional design and has been extended in matching style. The west end is symmetrical with a gabled  entrance bay and a small cupola containing a bell said to come from a Mersey steamer. The interior has a west-end meeting area which can be opened up to extend the worship space. The church has an open timber roof and large moulded columns introduced in the recent extension work. Furnishings are generally simple and modern.
