Description
The Church of St Anne is a church built around 1853 by T Bellamy for Anne Barnett in memory of her brother, Richard Barnett, who was a director of Meux's brewery. The church was restored in the late 19th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with Bath stone dressings and has slate roofs, designed in the Early English style. The building features a five-bay nave, with north and south aisles and a sanctuary, as well as a tower at the west end.
The main entrance is located at the base of the west tower, which has angle buttresses and a traceried two-light pointed window above the door. There is a band of arcaded lancets, paired pointed openings to the belfry, and a broach spire topped with lucarnes and gablets. The aisles are adorned with three-light traceried windows at the west ends.
Inside, the church is plain and illuminated by paired clerestory lights. The east wall features a painting of the Adoration of the Lamb. The stained glass in the south aisle, titled "Six Acts of Mercy," was designed by RR Holmes in 1865 and made by Lavers, Barrauld & Westlake of Endell Street. Other stained glass is by Saunders & Co, also of Endell Street. The roof has an arch-braced collar truss design.
