St ANNE'S CHURCH

The tiny wooden Church of St Anne was located in Foliot Road, North Prospect, Devonport.

In July 1929 a notice board, surmounted by a cross, was erected at the site of the proposed Church of St Anne and an open-air service was conducted by the Church of England Missionary Society in front of the board on Sunday July 14th 1929, after the consecration of the Church of St Thomas at Keyham.  The wooden building was erected in 1930 as a mission church for St Mark's Church, Ford.

Before the Second World War it was intended to replace the Church with a permanent building and a vicarage but that never happend.  Instead, a new Church was opened at the western end of Ham Drive and took the name of St James the Less in remembrance of the original Church of that name in Keyham Road that was destroyed during the Plymouth Blitz.
