St Annes Bedehouses

A range of 14 Bedehouses built between 1847 and 1860 by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin for RW Sibthorp, with execution by G Myers. The buildings are constructed in brick with stone dressings and have plain tile roofs, with paired octagonal coped ridge stacks; one of each pair has been removed, along with single gable and side wall stacks. They are in the Tudor Revival style.

The exterior features a chamfered plinth, dentilated eaves, and coped gables with crosses. The mullioned casement windows have leaded glazing, with two or three lights each. The doors have four-centred arched heads, inscriptions above, and shields within the spandrels, each flanked by an ogee-headed shoe scraper. The layout is P-shaped. The east range contains seven dwellings, with a three-light and a two-light window between each pair of doors. A cottage with an L-plan is situated at the south end, featuring a gabled datestone above the northern three-light window. At the north end, an angle buttressed wing displays a figure-carved and inscribed double gabled datestone above the three-light east window.

The south side has a covered passage, five bays wide, with buttresses and two-light windows, and a segmental pointed doorway to the right. The west end features a doorway and two three-light windows. The north side presents seven windows alternating with five doors. The projecting east gable has a three-light window, with a gabled inscribed datestone above.

The interior spaces feature inscribed Gothic fireplaces.
