St Anne's Church, Liverpool (1772-1871)St Anne's Church, Richmond – or St Anne's Church (Richmond). The date range is poorly formatted, unsourced, potentially incorrect, and inconsistent with the title convention of other churches listed at Church of St. Ann#United Kingdom. "St Anne's Church, Liverpool" is ambiguous. One cited source seems to have the most information. It seems there was an original church and then another that replaced it in 1871. "In 1865 the Liverpool Construction Act was passed on 26 May 1865. Under the terms of this act, St. Anne's Street was to be extended into Cazneau Street. To facilitate this, the Act provided for the demolition of St. Anne's Church but its terms prevented the Corporation from pulling down St. Anne's before erecting a new church. The Corporation duly built the new church of St. Anne's at the corner of St. Anne Street and Great Richmond Street and the consecration of the new building took place on 16th November 1871."

The map location seems to be along what is currently known as St. Anne Street, near Richmond Row.

Is this article intended to cover both buildings, or only the earlier one? It seems to be both, as none of the other articles I can find are about the newer one.

The later church was closed a full century later, in 1971. The source mentioned above and another source identify the location as Richmond or Richmond Street. It refers to the church as "St. Anne's Richmond" and "St Anne (Richmond)". Another source leads to other related articles that say Dr. Richard Richmond was the name of a bishop (an unpopular one) there during 1773–80. Open to alternative suggestions. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:26, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about the earlier church, hence (1772-1871). Perhaps the time has come for someone to start a page about the later church, but that "someone" is unlikely to be me. I don't see any need to move the current page. Leutha (talk) 15:13, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
