A chapel, dedicated to St. Anne. mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the patron Saint of Seafarers, once stood beside a road which ran north/south from Bideford to Appledore, across the river and continued to Saunton, cutting the present road, and continuing past Saunton Court to Georgeham and llfracombe. The Chapel stood on a spot just after the river had been crossed and was one of the ancient chapels situated within the parish of Braunton. Unfortunately the sand and the hand of man have removed all signs of this original building, but for a stone basin, which stands in the porch of the present chapel and is reputed to be the font. The present church dedicated also to St. Anne, is a small delightful chapel-of-ease set amid bracken and trees beside the main road which links Saunton with Braunton. It was built with money provided by the Mortiock-Brown family of Lobb, the land being donated by the Christie family of Glynebourne, Lewes.
Miss Mildred Mortlock-Brown of Lobb laid the foundation stone in September, 1895, the opening service was held on 29th April, 1896.

Commonwealth War Graves Commission
Heanton Punchardon (St. Augustine) Churchyard
website
During the two world wars, the United Kingdom became an island fortress used for training troops and launching land, sea and air operations around the globe. There are more than 170,000 Commonwealth war graves in the United Kingdom, many being those of servicemen and women killed on active service, or who later succumbed to wounds. Others died in training accidents, or because of sickness or disease. The graves, many of them privately owned and marked by private memorials, will be found in more than 12,000 cemeteries and churchyards.
Heanton Punchardon was one mile from the Royal Air Force station at Chivenor and during the Second World War, this churchyard was enlarged to accommodate a war graves plot in the new ground.
The churchyard contains two burials of the First World War and 85 from the Second World War.
There are also 38 post war air force burials and one Italian war grave.

St Hannahs. Braunton Burrows
Legend has it that a settlement once existed at the south end of Braunton Burrows, which went by the name of St Hannahs. It had a chapel, which was dedicated to St Anne and until 1860 the ruins of the chapel could apparently be seen, standing about a foot high where they emerged from the sand ....... The only surviving piece of St Annes is perhaps a font, which was said to have been found on the Burrows. It stands on the entrance steps to another small chapel known also, appropriately, as St Annes which is located on the north side of the Saunton Road, near Saunton.

Mortlock-Brown, Dr Constance, Sanfield, Braunton
website
Constance Anderson Mortlock-Brown (1875 - 1949) was the third of the four daughters (Ruth, Mildred, Constance and Hope Beatrice) of John and Agnes Mortlock-Brown, born on 2 June 1875. Her father, the Rev John Mortlock-Brown, had worked as a missionary in the Punjab before returning to England and marrying Agnes Peard, whose family owned Sanfield, a large house and farm in Braunton. John Mortlock-Brown died in 1878 and is buried in Braunton. At the 1881 census the widowed Agnes was living at 7 Radnor Place, Plymouth with daughters Ruth, Mildred, Constance and Hope Beatrice but this appears only to have been a temporary stay as in 1891 Agnes is listed at Whirlow Grange. Constance (aged 15) and her elder sister Mildred (17) are listed on that census as boarders at Rodney House School in Weston-super-Mare, principal Miss Fanny May. The school had four other teachers resident, a senior and a junior English mistress, a French mistress, and one who taught German and music. The girls were brought up as compassionate and devout young ladies: when they inherited money at the age of 21 Ruth spent some of hers on giving a holiday to workhouse children from London and Bristol, and Mildred built the chapel of St Anne at Saunton. In April 1901 Agnes, Mildred, Constance and Beatrice were living at Sanfield at the time of the census. Agnes, however, was already ill and was to die a few weeks later. The resident sick nurse in the house at the time was Annie Ball (q.v.), later known as the proprietor of nursing institutes in Barnstaple and Ilfracombe and a member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). There is little to link Constance Mortlock-Brown with any specific pro-suffrage organisation. The artist whom she and her sisters employed in 1906 to create a stained glass window in the chapel of St Anne at Saunton was Mary Lowndes, founder of the Artists' Suffrage League, whom Constance may have known through activities in London. Votes for Women records a donation to the WSPU £100,000 fund from a Miss Mortlock-Brown in 1910.
