History
St. Ann's Church[disambiguation needed] was built in a rural setting in the middle of the nineteenth century and consecrated in 1861. A hamlet soon began to grow up around the church. However, it was quickly swallowed up by the northward march of London. By the mid-1890s it could no longer be distinguished as a separate hamlet.[1]
