St Anne's Church, Woodplumpton

The church building features red and yellow sandstone walls, slate roofs, and an octagonal cupola topped with a stone dome and weathervane.

The structure underwent significant reconstruction in 1630, followed by the addition of a south aisle in 1748 and restoration work by Austin and Paley in 1899.

The church maintains its role as an active Anglican parish within the Diocese of Blackburn, conducting regular services and community gatherings throughout the year.

Visitors can attend the Sunday Parish Eucharist at 10:30 AM or join the Holy Communion service held every Thursday at 10:00 AM.

The churchyard contains the grave of Meg Shelton, marked by a boulder, where local tradition claims she was buried upside down in the 17th century.
