St. Anne's Church was opened for divine service on 25th October 1772. The building had been started earlier and had been completed under the terms of 'An Act for completing a building intended for a new Church or Chapel at Richmond. 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. In 1937, the parish of St. Stephen (Byrom Street) was merged with the parish of St. Anne and St. Anne's became the parish church of the united parish the living of St. Anne's fell vacant in 1956. The question of the closure of the church was under discussion for some time and in 1970 the parish of St. Anne, Richmond, with St. Stephen was united with the parish of Liverpool (Our Lady of St. Nicholas) the Parish Church (St. Nicholas) becoming the parish church of the united parish. St. Anne's Church was demolished in 1967.
