Church Of St Anne

The Church of St Anne is an Anglican church, now redundant, built in 1864 by architect John Norton for Robert Phippen, a former mayor of Bristol. The church features snecked rubble with freestone dressings, ornamental clay tile roofs, and raised coped verges. Its design is in the Early English style and includes a nave with a gabled south porch, transepts, a bell-tower, an apse, and a north vestry.

The plain gabled nave consists of three bays, with windows primarily featuring two lights and plate tracery. The buttressed west end has two pairs of lancet windows set beneath a continuous drip under a relieving arch. The doorway in the gabled south porch is adorned with two shafts that have stiff-leaf capitals, topped with a floreate tympanum. The gabled south transept has a similar doorway under a trefoiled arch, with two lancets above flanking a canopied niche that houses a Madonna and Child. Above this niche is a rose window with plate tracery. The north transept mirrors this design but lacks a door and instead features three plain tall lancets.

A slender, circular bell-tower is located at the junction of the transept and nave, rising to a conical cap supported by a shafted arcade. The apse contains lancet windows set between slender shafts that carry trefoiled arches. Inside, there is a fine shafted chancel arch, and the apse features a screen of shafts supporting trefoiled arches along with an ornately painted ceiling.
