About Us

St Anne's Church is the Parish Church for the whole island of Alderney (sometimes called 'The Cathedral of the Channel Islands') and is a large Victorian church, built by the famous architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, and consecrated in 1851. It's large size was to make space for both the community of the island of Alderney, and also the garrisons then inhabiting this island situated less than 10 miles from the coast of France. 

The church is situated in the centre of the island, in the town of St Anne, you can see the tower from most parts of the island. The island has a close and friendly community, and the church is very much at the heart of all that goes on.

All are welcome to our services, and we have something for all from a Prayer Book traditional service, a parish Eucharist both every Sunday and a Puppets and Praise service for families and young children monthly.  Please have a look at the main page for what's coming up next.

We are part of the Deanery of Guernsey and follow the House of Bishops advice from the Church of England's Parish Safeguarding Handbook.
