It is an active Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Blackburn, and the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the deanery of Garstang. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II * listed building. The churchyard at St Anne's is the supposed burial place of a 17th-century alleged witch named Meg Shelton. ==History== Historically, Woodplumpton was in the ancient parish of St Michael's on Wyre, served by the parish church of St Michael. There is architectural evidence of a chapel at Woodplumpton prior to 1200; documentary evidence of such a structure dates from 1552.〔 The church was largely rebuilt in 1630.〔 The south aisle was added in 1748.〔 In 1899–1900 the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley made additions and carried out a restoration of the church that included the installation of new windows, re-roofing the north aisle, repairing the arcades, and extending the vestry. In 1966 the church was designated as a Grade II * listed building. The Grade II * listing is for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Anne's Church, Woodplumpton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
