Prior to the 1960's Radcliffe-on-Trent, Bingham and district was part of the Catholic parish of the Holy Spirit in West Bridgeford. The priest came out to Radcliffe-on-Trent each Sunday to offer Mass in a tin hut on lower Shelford Road. Land was purchased and a new hall was built and blessed in l962 by the late Bishop Edward Ellis and St. Anne's parish was born.

The area covered by St. Anne's Parish stretches from Gamston to Bottesford and takes in about 28 villages as well as Radcliffe-on-Trent and Bingham town. Parishioners may travel 8-10 miles to celebrate Sunday Mass together and receive Jesus in Holy Communion. 

In the 1980s extensions were made to St. Anne's hall providing catering facilities, a meeting room and extra seating for weekend Masses. Later, in the 1990s, the presbytery was extended, adding an office and a small reception room. A new sacristy was also built on to the hall. It was only on 26th July 2002, on the 40th anniversary of it's opening, that St. Anne's was consecrated as a Church by the present Bishop, Rt. Rev. Malcolm McMahon O.P.

St. Anne's is a member of the Catholic Diocese of Nottingham.
