A special event was held to mark the 160th anniversary of St Anne's Church and Community Hub in Chasetown, Burntwood, near Lichfield.
The Grade II listed church, built in 1865, has hosted countless baptisms, weddings, and funerals over the years and is now set to undergo a major £1 million refurbishment project.
On October 9, Team Vicar Rev Richard Westwood and residents hosted a reception to launch the new 'Friends of St Anne's' group, aiming to foster closer ties with business and community leaders.
The event featured the unveiling of a specially commissioned film showcasing the church's ministry support and community work.
