Bewdley Union is a non-denominational cemetery. The oldest part of the cemetery dates back to the early 1850s, was established by Scottish adherents of the Congregational Church. It was located partially on the Cavan Street road allowance in Bewdley. The rest of the cemetery property was owned by private individuals until the 1960s when it was conveyed to the Bewdley Legion who now maintain it. St. Anne's Anglican Church, the church building to the north of the cemetery has no connection with it. Originally the building was a barn that was moved to the present site around 1900. After renovation a stone was fixed in the front gable which reads "Bewdley Church - open to all Protestant denominations -1901". Ministers of various Protestant denominations took turns holding services there until the early 1920s when it remained vacant for several years. In 1927, the land was purchased by the Anglican Synod from Thomas B. Chalk for the sum of $1.00 and the church building was named St. Anne's Anglican Church. In the 1940s the church was further renovated and the basement briefly used as a school for primary grades. Today occasional Sunday services and a weekly communion service are held in St. Anne's.
