Nottingham - St Ann's Church Men's Institute

The Men's Institute was part of St Ann's Church, St Ann's Well Road (Robin Hood Chase). The church was consecrated in 1864 but demolished in April 1971. The parishes of St Ann's Church and Emmanuel Church, Woodborough Road, (demolished 1972) were combined together with some of the parish of St Bartholomew, Bluebell Hill Road (demolished c. 1971) as St Ann with Emmanuel church, Robin Hood Chase.The memorial plaque was originally erected in the now disused Canon Lewis Memorial Hall on Ransom Road. The names of the men commemorated on the memorial were originally identified from documentary evidence ('St Ann’s Nottingham: inner city voices', Ruth Johns, ISBN 0954312716.). The inscription on the memorial reads 'For God, King and Country. 1914-1918. In honoured memory of the members of this Institute who gave their lives in the Great War (11 names).' The memorial was eventually recovered by Tony Miller, a former resident of St Ann's. He arranged the restoration of the memorial which in November 2018 was installed in the entrance to St Ann's library, Robin Hood Chase, Nottingham, close to the original site of St Ann's church.
