Church Of St Anne

The Church of St Anne, formerly known as the Church of All Saints, is a Grade II listed building constructed between 1843 and 1844 by architect J L Pearson in the Decorated style. It features coursed rubble walls and slate roofs. The church has a three-bay nave that includes a south porch and a west bellcote, along with a single-bay chancel. Notable architectural elements include a plinth, buttresses with offsets, and three two-light pointed windows adorned with curvilinear tracery. The gabled south porch has a pointed double-chamfered door and pierced trefoils on its east and west walls. The west bellcote contains a pointed opening with a bell beneath a gablet topped with a cross finial. The chancel is highlighted by two single-light pointed windows with curvilinear tracery and a sill string course, as well as a three-light pointed east window featuring curvilinear tracery beneath a plain hoodmould. The raised coped gable of the chancel is also topped with a cross finial. All windows are set below rubble relieving arches. The interior is very simple. This church is listed partly for its historic interest as Pearson's first church.
