About Us

ST. ANNES CHURCH

St Anne’s, the parish church of Siston, is an often overlooked architectural and artistic gem. As seen now, its fabric combines Saxon, Norman and medieval elements, and its origins probably go back to the ’Dark Age’ period following the end of the Roman occupation of Britain in the 5th century AD. It is likely that the original foundation related to St Anne’s association with the nearby Holy Well which was a place of pilgrimage for people seeking cures for eye disease. Whilst the central nave of the church may be attributed to Norman building in the 12th century, the western tower and the eastern chancel may be significantly earlier, and the whole building displays a charming amalgam of Romanesque and Gothic styles.
St Anne’s stands at the heart of our Village and brings our local community together for many different occasions, Sunday praise, christenings, weddings, burials, uplifting Christmas carols, talks and Community discussions.often overlooked
