Hardships aside, Anne’s faith was strong and unrelenting. Taken from her Church of England traditions, the early church services were held in her kitchen – attended by neighbours and family. Many times in her memoirs, Anne mentions her faith and commitment to a life dedicated to family and to the Lord.
