Singleton was historically part of the ecclesiastical parish of Kirkham. The parish church of St Anne's was designed by Lancaster architect Edward Graham Paley for the Miller family of Singleton Hall and was completed in 1861.[1] The church was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage in 1986.[2] The Grade II listing is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".[3]
The church designed in the Early English style.[2] It is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a slate roof.[2] Its plan consists of a nave, chancel, south transept and a steeple to the north-east. There are no aisles. The steeple ("well-proportioned" according to Hartwell)[1] has angled buttresses and is topped by a broach spire.[2] The windows have plate tracery; most are two-light and there are four-light dormers at the east end of the nave.[1] The chancel has a wagon roof.[1] The church includes monuments to the Miller family of Singleton Hall.
The church lychgate has also received a Grade II designation from English Heritage. It is constructed of timber with a red tile roof.[2] An inscription reads "T.H. Miller 1879".[4]
