St Anne-in-the-Grove

St Anne-in-the-Grove, has a long history which stretches across the divides of the Reformation. Originally situated as part of a house belonging to the lord of the manor, Pope Eugenius IV issued a license in 1440 so the Mass could be offered. Eventually the numbers outgrew the house and so a new church was built on what is now Brookfoot Lane. The current site was used to build a new church in the early 19th century, from where the life and mission of the church to the people of Southowram continues.
