St Anne's Roman Catholic church, in the Chapel End / Camp Hill area of Nuneaton, was built in 1999-2000 to replace the original basic dual-purpose church/school built in the 1940s with a limited budget and lifespan. The new church was opened in March 2000, and dedicated later that year by Archbishop Vincent Nicholls. The church is square in plan with the corners angled (forming an uneven octagon) with the orientation on the diagonal axis facing south east.
There is an unfortunate inbalance in the glazing within, which is concentrated on the north and east walls, the remaining walls having the parish rooms attached. The original design included a central lantern over the nave, but this was sadly abandoned during construction owing to rising costs (this would have given the building a more 'church-like' profile outside and greater light within).
It was an awkward site, but much has been achieved within the constraints of budget and location.
