History

Before the restoration of the Catholic Hierarchy in 1850, Fr John Quealy ministered to the Catholic faithful of Ashton, renting a stable in Wood Street. In 1852, Fr Quealy opened a building that served as a school and chapel. The building plan for the church was drawn up by Edward Welby Pugin, son of Augustus Pugin. In 1868, during the 'Murphy Riots', St Ann's was severely damaged and its windows smashed. The original design included a spire and bell tower.
