# St Anne, Coventry

St Anne (now St Anne and All Saints) is a Church of England church on Acacia Avenue, Coventry, in the Diocese of Coventry. The Church Heritage Record states that it is not a listed building.

## Overview

The Victoria County History records that St Anne was originally erected during the First World War by John Davenport Siddeley (created Lord Kenilworth in 1937) as a canteen and recreational centre for munition workers at the Armstrong-Siddeley factory, Park Side. After the war Siddeley gave the building to St Michael, Coventry, as a mission church. It was dedicated in 1930 after being enlarged and refurnished, mainly at his expense. The dedication recalled the medieval Charterhouse nearby.

In 1930 a tower was added above the main north entrance, with small transepts and an apsidal chancel. The church occupies the upper floor of a two-storey brick building; the semi-basement is the church hall. The parish still holds a projection room from the building’s use as a cinema for munitions workers, and an oak screen inscribed in memory of Lord and Lady Kenilworth.
