St Anne
Alderney AlderneyThe Church and Town of St Anne from Louisa Lane Clarke's
'Alderney Guide' (1851)
St Anne, the centre for Alderney's population, is located slightly to the north west of the centre of the island on high ground.
The new church of St Anne was built in 1850 at the personal expense of the Rector Rev. John Le Messurier. It would appear to be much larger than was needed but also had to accomodate the Garrison. The old church had become decrepid and it was said that, with the growth of dissenting religions and the foundation of several chapels for their use, the Anglican Church in danger of being deserted altogether. The building was demolished, leaving only the clock tower standing. Picture at The Alderney Society and Museum.
