St Anne's Church in Haughton, Denton, Greater Manchester, England, is a Grade I Listed Building.^[1] The foundation stone was laid on 1 September 1880 and the church was finally completed on 29 July 1882. The building was designed by J. Medland Taylor ^[2] and the construction was funded by E. Joseph Sidebotham, a member of the Sidebotham mill-owning family of Hyde. The church was built in brick in the Gothic Revival style, but also utilised timber framing.^[3]

It has been described as the best-known work of the architects, an 'extraordinary free-form brick church that forms the nucleus of the most important cluster of their buildings' surviving.^[4] The lychgate and rectory that adjoin the main church are also of architectural significance, and each is on the register of protected buildings in its own right.^[5]^[6]
