Description
The Church of St Anne, built in 1837 by an unknown architect, is a church constructed from dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It features a west tower, a nave, and a chancel, along with a small south porch and a vestry. The design is in a simple Lancet Gothic style. The tower consists of three stages with diagonal buttresses, a steeply pointed north doorway, and lancet windows with splayed surrounds on each face. The buttresses terminate below a string course, and the belfry is plain with a single lancet window on each side, topped by an embattled parapet.
The nave is wide and has six bays, with diagonal corner buttresses and additional buttresses that separate the tall single lancets. The eaves are supported by brackets. The first bay features a steeply pointed doorway and porch, which is gabled and has wide bracketed eaves. The chancel is narrower and consists of only one bay, with an eastern window made up of three stepped lancets, and a small vestry that has an octagonal chimney.
Inside, the church has a plain flat panelled ceiling supported by slight braces and a west gallery on iron columns. The east window, created by Kempe around 1890, depicts Christ the King flanked by St Anne and St Mary.
