St Anne's is the southernmost of the two churches at Sutton Bonington (a rare distinction owing to the village's origins as two separate villages that later merged over the centuries, hence the two parish churches). It is the smaller and more humble building architecturally but is no less interesting than its near neighbour.

The present building is of mainly 13th - 14th century date and consists of a chancel and nave with an aisle on the north side. There is no tower, just a bellcote at the west end and thus it is a low lying structure with little protruding above roof level, though its position on high ground lends it some dignity on approach.

Inside it retains a sense of the ancient and rustic though most of the furnishings date from the late Victorian restoration. The font is medieval as is the damaged alabaster effigy of a knight in a recess in the chancel. There is a mixture of 19th and early 20th century glass, the best piece being the west window with its three beautiful figures designed by Henry Holiday.

I have visited this church twice and found it open on both occasions, so I assume it is normally more visitor friendly.
