OUR LADY STAR OF THE SEA, St. Annes, is a beautiful Catholic church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. It is a Gothic edifice opened in 1890, and was built as a memorial to the late Duchess of Norfolk. The site was presented by the late J: T. Clifton, Esq., and the foundation stone was laid on October 21st, 1888. The cost of erection was about £6,000, the principal contributor being the Duke of Norfolk. The designs were supplied by Messrs. Pugin & Pugin, of London. Contributions have been received to the amount of £3,000 for the purpose of enlarging the church when convenient. Rev. M. Ryan, parish priest; Rev. J. Stott, curate.
