Description
The Church of St Anne is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1856 by George Shaw of Saddleworth for John Chapman. It is built from pitch-faced stone and features an interlocking concrete tile roof. The church has a four-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, along with a south porch and a north vestry. Diagonal buttresses define the divisions between the bays. Above the inner door, there is an inscribed stone ribbon that notes the church was erected by John Chapman of Carlecotes and Mottram, with the foundation stone laid by his eldest son Edward on 19th September 1856, and the church was opened on 28th June 1857. The nave has two-light windows with Decorated tracery, while the chancel features small two-light windows with cusped lights. The east window is a three-light design with Curvilinear tracery, and there is also a small two-light west window. Inside, the church has arch-braced roof trusses, and contemporary fittings include a stone font with a very elaborate oak cover, as well as an elaborate oak pulpit, reading desk, and canopied choir stalls.
