St Ann’s Church was founded in Dublin City in 1707, and in 1868 a neo Romanesque façade was added. The church has memorials dedicated to those lost in World War I and World War II.

Isaac Wills designed the Georgian interior of St Ann’s Church in Dublin City, which includes stained glass windows dating from the mid 19th century and memorials to both World Wars.

Since 1723, the church has also kept a bread shelf, a tradition that exists to provide Dublin’s poor with food.

Over the years, many famous people have been associated with St Ann’s, including Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker and Theobald Wolfe Tone.
