Notes from the Archives: Coat of Arms and Skylight Mural

In November 1989 the Vestry and Rector formally adopted a coat of arms for St. Anne’s designed by the Rev. Canon A. Pierce Middleton symbolizing its founding and early history. Research for the coat of arms was also done by Dr. Weems McFadden. The art work was by Ms. Joey Stone.

A special service was held the first Sunday in Advent of 1989 to dedicate the mural which covers the skylight room in the Parish House. Canon Middleton and the Rector participated in the service, Bishop Charles Longest was in attendance. The mural depicts the three St. Anne’s churches erected on Church Circle. The art work was done by Annapolis artist and St. Anne’s parishioner Jenifer Heyd Warton.
