St Anne's Church is a Grade I listed building in Denton, a town in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England.[1] The foundation stone was laid on 1 September 1880, and the church was completed on 29 July 1882. It was designed by J. Medland Taylor, and its construction was funded by E. Joseph Sidebotham, a member of the Sidebotham mill-owning family of Hyde. The church is built in brick in the Gothic Revival style and also incorporates timber framing.[2]

It has been described as the best-known work of the architects, an "extraordinary free-form brick church that forms the nucleus of the most important cluster of their buildings' surviving."[3] The lychgate and St Anne's Rectory adjoining the main church are also of architectural significance, and each is listed as a protected building in its own right.[4][5]
