Graveyard of St Ann's
The church dates far back into the thirteenth century, occupying a spot on a hilltop overlooking the Siston Brook and in an area that was a hunting forest. Here the more modern graveyard still shows the steep drop to the brook.

St Anne's in the Springtime
The snowdrops are now blooming in the churchyard.
Oldland was a small and inconspicuous hamlet on the Siston Brook for most of its history, but the nearby coalfields soon became a magnet for the population. The Industrial Revolution increased the demand and the village grew quickly. Up to that time it was under the jurisdiction of Bitton - some distance away - and this site, on a hilltop overlooking the valley, was a chapel of ease for some time.
St Anne's is a relatively new building; it was founded by Canon Ellacombe and opened for divine service on Sunday November 14th, 1830.

Fencing at St Ann's
Work is being carried out on the large wall that forms the southeast boundary of the church. The site is a small hilltop and the retaining wall is having to hold a great weight of earth - including part of the graveyard.
