“佩夫斯纳认为，科尔切斯特最令人印象深刻的是.是它的建筑兴趣的连续性。它开始于罗马人之前，持续到18世纪。也许圣安妮的开始是一个迹象，表明该镇已经重新发现了它对冒险建筑的品味“。

“Pevsner believed that what is most impressive about Colchester... is the continuity of its architectural interest. It began before the Romans and lasted through the 18th century. Maybe St Anne’s Sure Start is a sign that the town has rediscovered its taste for adventurous architecture”.
