St Anne's Church, Kew, is a parish church in Kew in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The building, which dates from 1714 and is Grade II* listed,[2] forms the central focus of Kew Green. The raised churchyard, which is on three sides of the church,[3] has two Grade II* listed monuments – the tombs of the artists Johan Zoffany (d. 1816)[4] and Thomas Gainsborough (d. 1788).[5] The French Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro (1830–1903), who stayed in 1892 at 10 Kew Green,[6] portrayed St Anne's in his painting Church at Kew (1892).[7]
