Add PhotosSt Anne's Church in Soho, London was consecrated in 1686 by Bishop Henry Compton (after whom Old Compton Street is named). A new tower was installed in 1801-1803.
The whole church was left burned out on the night of 24 Sept 1940 during the London Blitz, apart from the tower, which was left derelict. The church was rebuilt in 1990–91 and the tower fully restored.
The churchyard was closed to burials in 1853 by act of parliament. The ground rises six feet above the pavement because of the estimated 100,000 burials within its ¾ acre. In 1891 the churchyard was landscaped and opened as a public garden (St Anne's Gardens) by Lady Hobhouse on the 27 June 1892.
