Description
The Church of Saint Anne is a Catholic church built between 1845 and 1846 by Hansom, with the chancel and transepts added in 1888-1889 by Pugin and Pugin. It is constructed of stone and features a slate roof. The church has a six-bay nave with lean-to aisles, a west tower, transepts, and a three-bay chancel with an apse. The tower includes angle buttresses and an octagonal southeast stair turret. The west entrance is elaborately designed with four orders and features a four-light window topped by an ogival hood that supports a canopied niche above. The bell stage of the tower has paired two-light louvred openings, and the tracery is in a Geometrical style. The aisles contain two-light windows and three-light windows on the west side. The clerestory windows are pointed arches adorned with quatrefoils. The transepts have two-light windows on the west and five-light windows on the north and south sides.
Inside, the nave features arcades supported by quatrefoil piers and an arch-braced roof with angel corbels on the wall piers. The chancel has a timber vault with a ridge light, while the apse showcases gabled arcading and a gabled reredos. The arcades leading to the organ loft and south chapel are two columns deep.
