Prior to the 1960s Radcliffe-on-Trent, Bingham and district were part of the Catholic parish of the Holy Spirit in West Bridgford. The priest came out to Radcliffe-on-Trent each Sunday to offer Mass in a tin hut on lower Shelford Road.
St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease and Church Hall was designed as the First Phase in an ultimate development consisting of Church Hall, Church and Presbytery. The contract was commenced in January, 1962 and was opened by the late Bishop Ellis of Nottingham on July 26th, 1962 on the Feast Day of St. Anne.
The Church Hall accommodated about 170 people at that time. The Altar was of brick with an Ancaster Stone Altar Slab and the Altar Candles were obtained from an Italian designer by the Rev, Fr. Buckley. The car park held up to 30 cars on the site that was allotted for the future Church and Presbytery.
The area covered by St. Anne’s Parish stretches from Gamston to Bottesford and takes in about 28 villages as well as Radcliffe-on-Trent and Bingham town. Parishioners may travel 8-10 miles to celebrate Sunday Mass together and receive Jesus in Holy Communion.
In the 1980s extensions were made to St. Anne’s hall providing catering facilities, a meeting room and extra seating for weekend Masses. Later, in the 1990s, the presbytery was extended, adding an office and a small reception room. A new sacristy was also built on to the hall. It was only on 26th July 2002, on the 40th anniversary of it’s opening, that St. Anne’s was consecrated as a Church by the present Bishop, Rt. Rev. Malcolm McMahon O.P.
