St Ann's Church, Battlefield
-
Description
"The church was built in 1764-68, to designs by William Newton, on the site of a medieval chapel. The building stone used was taken from the City Walls which used to run alongside the Quayside. The church was surrounded by open fields and was a prominent feature of the Quayside until terraced housing was built after 1880. The area became known as Battlefields from its popularity as a venue for dog fights. The church was a very important part of the local community.
