History

The first church was built in 1111 and dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, a derivative of Saint Botolph, but was rededicated to St Anne in the early 18th century. It was known as the Chapel of Turton and was a chapel of ease in the parish of Bolton le Moors. The chapel was rebuilt in 1630 and again in 1779. The present parish church was built between 1840 and 1841, [1] the architect was probably John Palmer. [2] The ecclesiastical parish was formed in 1837.

Structure

The church, designed by John Palmer in Decorated style, is in sandstone with a slate roof. It consists of a nave with aisles, a short chancel, and a west steeple. The steeple has a four-stage tower, angle buttresses, a west door and west window, clock faces, an embattled parapet with pinnacles, and an octagonal spire with two tiers of lucarnes. [3] [4]
