Church Of St Anne

The Church of St Anne, built between 1840 and 1841, is a church that may have been designed by John Palmer. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof. The building has a west tower with a spire, a nave with aisles that share the same roof, and a short chancel, all designed in the Decorated style.

The nave, which is buttressed and has five bays, includes tall three-light windows with intersecting cusped tracery. The east window is four-light and features similar tracery, with all windows having hoodmoulds. The four-stage tower has diagonal buttresses, an arched west door, and a tall, deeply-recessed west window. The third stage of the tower includes clockfaces, while the set-back fourth stage has two-light belfry openings, an embattled parapet with slim corner pinnacles, and a slim octagonal spire that has lucarnes on two levels in the cardinal faces.

Inside, the church features five-bay arcades supported by slim octagonal columns with shallow caps, which hold arches with two orders of moulding. There are galleries on three sides and a very wide chancel arch. An elaborate Gothic carved screen is advanced into the center of the first bay of the nave, and there is an ornate alabaster reredos in Renaissance style, along with a marble pulpit on a pedestal.
