Description
The Catholic Chapel of St Anne is a chapel built in 1844 by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin for James Beech. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a tiled roof with cresting. The design follows the Early English style, comprising a five-bay nave and a short chancel. The chapel has coped gables topped with crosses. The chancel includes a three-light east window and a single cusped light on the south side, with a blocked entrance on the north. The nave features windows with two cusped lights, and the pointed west entrance is accessed by parapeted steps, flanked by cusped lights and a niche with a statue above. The gable displays three trefoils, and there is a triangular-headed east entrance to the north of the chancel.
Inside, the chancel roof showcases ashlaring to the collar trusses, and there is a simple double-chamfered segmental-pointed chancel arch. The nave roof trusses are supported by straight braces to the purlins and cambered collars. The interior includes a small ashlar altar, plain open benches with traceried fronts, and a timber confessional with glazed traceried upper panels. There is a brass on the floor featuring a cross in a frame, along with two wall brasses in the chancel. The stained glass in the east window is likely by Hardman. The chapel was used by Blessed Dominic Barberi, a Passionist priest influential in the 19th-century Catholic Church, and was built for him by local man J. Beech.
