Information request
Picture postcard sent by Bray to The Rector, St. Anne's Church, Buxton on 17th August 1904 asking for information to be supplied.
Tiny St Anne's is Buxton's oldest church and has a highly decorated interior. It is dated 1625 but some parts are much older. The cult of St Anne did not become popular in England until the fourteenth century. However, the dedication of Buxton's pagan healing spring to her was of far earlier date, indeed her Buxton dedication is thought to be one of the earliest, if not the earliest in England
