Description
The Church of St Anne is an Anglican chapel of ease built between 1863 and 1864 by G.E. Street. It is constructed of random coursed rubble-stone with a tiled roof. The church features a nave with a south porch, small transepts, and an apsidal chancel. The nave consists of two bays, each with two-light lancet windows and a quatrefoil above. The west end has a central stepped buttress flanked by trefoil head lancets and a large sexfoil window above. At the east end, there is a lead-covered spiral roof bellcote. The steeply gabled openwork timber porch on the south side has two pairs of trefoil head arches on each side. The chancel has a conical sprocketed roof and three trefoil head single lancets. Inside, all windows are set in deep splayed reveals, with the two west lancets featuring steeply downward sloping flush sills. The nave has a four-bay rafter roof with braced collar beams, while the apse has seven ribs and a painted ceiling. The transepts are adorned with ogee openwork timber screens.
