Description
The Church of St Anne is a church built between 1884 and 1885, incorporating remains from the 18th century. It is constructed from coursed sandstone and features a slate roof. The church includes a west tower, a nave, a lower chancel, and a south porch. The tower, originally built in 1841, was encased and raised during the rebuilding. It has three stages, with lancet bell openings and an embattled parapet supported by a corbel table. The south wall of the nave has four bays to the east of the porch, each with lancet windows. The chancel consists of one bay with paired lancets, and the east window features three stepped lancet lights beneath a round hood. Above the porch door, which has a chamfered surround and a shouldered lintel, there is a plaque inscribed 'S.A.1723', referencing the original church on this site, parts of which are believed to be incorporated into the current structure.
Inside, the church has an open timber roof supported by bolted king posts with curved braces to the principals and curved queen struts. The chancel roof features scissor-braced rafters. The west gallery has a front made of raised panels and is supported by iron columns with foliated caps.
