It is an active Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Blackburn, and the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the deanery of Garstang.

The churchyard at St Anne's is the supposed burial place of a 17th-century alleged witch named Meg Shelton.

[3] In 1899–1900 the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley made additions and carried out a restoration of the church that included the installation of new windows, re-roofing the north aisle, repairing the arcades, and extending the vestry.

[4] The restoration cost £2600, of which £160 was provided by the Manchester Church Building and Endowment Society.

Its plan consists of a nave with north and south aisles, chancel, a west tower and a vestry to the north-east.

[6] The tower has a window with a round head, a square clock face on the south wall, a moulded cornice and a simple Gibbs surround.

[1] The north arcade has five two-centred, chamfered arches on octagonal piers with moulded caps and bases.

[3] The south aisle, 13 feet (4.0 m) wide,[1] is in the Classical style with pilasters, entablature and a moulded cornice.
