St Ann's Church, Manchester, Neoclassical church building in central Manchester, England
St Ann's Church is a neoclassical sandstone building in central Manchester with a symmetrical design, large windows, and classical columns. A prominent clock tower rises above the main entrance and dominates its exterior.
Lady Ann Bland commissioned its construction in 1709, making it the first new church in Manchester since medieval times. The building marked an important moment in the expanding city's development.
The church serves as a venue for musical performances and organ recitals that draw people interested in classical music. It remains a gathering place where the community experiences art and spirituality together.
The church is accessible on weekdays and weekends, with extended hours on Sunday for services. Visitors should check ahead since religious events may affect access times.
The building served as a reference point for surveyors measuring distances across the growing industrial city. This practical role made it an important landmark for Manchester's urban development.
