This has been a local church for downtown Annapolis through all it's history and several fires. It is quietly elegant and still first and foremost a local church not a tourist attraction. My favorite event here is the annual Kirkin of the Tartan when the St. Andrews Society of Baltimore brings a pipe band and many of the clan banners for a blessing. It is usually in May or June and it does the heart good to watch so many follow the pipes into the church dressed in the tartan of their clan.

Lots of history! Amazing to look at!! MY family and I just like walking around the church. It just makes you feel like you are walking back in time.

St Anne's Episcopal Church is a church that is steeped in history with beginnings that go back over 300 years ago. The current building was completed after the Civil War, earlier buildings having been destroyed by fire. Chief features include stain glass windows.including one Tiffany, an elevated altar area (chancel), masonry walls and internal columns, multi bulbed chandeliers, silver communion vessels from England, a German built, multiple rank pipe organ. The church was renovated a few years ago and is quite lovely and welcoming. For those wishing to attend services, there are communion services at 8, 9:30 and 11:15 on Sunday, a 5:30 pm short non communion service Sunday, and a 5:30 Saturday service. If you visit, don't forget to look carefully at the plaques that give a history of the church and its congregation during Colonial times and thereafter when such well known people as Frances Scott Key, writer of the National Anthem, were parishioners. A number of early dignitaries are buried outside, but weathering makes many of the grave stones illegible today.

Beautiful and very historic Episcopal Church located on its' own circle in the heart of the state capital. Worth a visit.

We stopped in on our way downtown. Built in the RomanesqueRevival style, the rather austere brick exterior belies the beauty of the interior. We were lucky enough to be there when the organist was practicing. Magnificent!

I visited this historic church during a guided tour of old Annapolis. St. Anne's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located in Church Circle, Annapolis. St Anne's has been at this location since 1704.After the original church was razed, the local government made plans to build a new church. Unfortunately, construction had to be cancelled since it was planned at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Finally, in 1792, the new St. Anne's church was finished. It was much larger and more structurally secure than it predecessor.

A highlight was seeing the embroidered pillows made by the parishoners.We also viewed the crypts outside.

Visited this historic building on a tour. Such beautiful stained glass windows, and such important historical members.

The history of the church and the stained glass were very much worth the visit. We had a tour guide that was very knowledgeable about the history of the church and politics of the times.The tour was with a adventure company that took us around in extended golf cart type vehicles able to go places the larger trollies could not go.

Decided to stop in at this church on our walk around the town. Nice shady benches in front. It's worth stopping in if you have time. Gorgeous stain glass windows.

A must see visit and attend a Sunday service at this historical church. Very friendly and welcoming congregation.

My regular parish, so perhaps I am biased... St. Anne's is so lovely, and the parishoners so very welcoming. Great place to worship.

The architecture is superbly detailed!! Above the right side altar is the Blessed Mother holding baby Jesus this is one of America's oldest copies of the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (dated from 1868), it's also the most reproduced work of art in the world! The statute of St. Mary dates to the early 1860`s all others to 1855. On your way to the restroom read the bio pics on the wall & see how far we've come or not?
