St Anne's Church, Ynyshir is located in the Welsh village of Ynyshir[1] in the Benefice of Tylorstown in the Rhondda Valley. It dates from the 1880s.

History

The church was designed by E. M. Bruce Vaughan. It was completed in 1886,[2] though at least one of the windows (west) dates from 1905.[3] The organ at St Anne's, dating from 1907, was made by Harrison & Harrison[4]

The church has a small hall which is the site of a memorial. It also acts as a polling station. St Anne's has no clerestory. The interior has a number of statues of famous preachers.[5]

In 2014, the church hosted services to recall the centenary of the First World War. Part of the service was at the Ynyshir Cenotaph[6] not far from the church.[7]
