Description
The Church of St Anne, located on Stockport Road in Saddleworth, was built between 1787 and 1788 but has undergone significant remodeling. The chancel was altered in 1888, the vestry was added in 1911, and the tower was completed around 1920, with modifications made by architects R.B. Preston and F. Thorpe. The church is constructed from watershot hammer-dressed stone and features a slate roof. It has a wide nave that is now only half its original height, with a projecting plinth, sill band, eaves band, eaves cornice, flat pilasters added in 1911, and round-headed windows that include impost blocks and keystones. The gables are coped and supported by kneelers. The four-stage tower is characterized by angled buttresses, round-headed keystone openings on each level, and clock faces beneath a castellated parapet that includes a niche on each side. The east window is designed in a Venetian style. Inside, there is a semi-circular chancel arch, hammer-beam roof trusses, and stained glass, with the east window created by Miesonnier.
