==History== St Anne's Church has an [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] coffin lid in the porch entrance, but the oldest part of the current building, the north [[aisle]], dates from about 1200. The tower was constructed in the 13th century but the rest of the church is newer and was the subject of an extensive restoration in the 19th century. A [[sundial]] lies in the church grounds, atop the shaft, base and steps of a cross. This may have acted as a [[market cross]] in the 17th century. A second cross lies in the graveyard, moved from Bubnell by Doctor Wrench, who erected the nearby Wellington Monument and is buried in the churchyard. This cross may historically have been known as the "Butter Cross".<ref name="Neville T.
