Description

The Church of St Anne is a church built between 1824 and 1825, constructed from stone rubble and topped with a slate roof. It features a single-vessel nave and chancel, along with a west tower and vestries. The five-bay nave is adorned with pointed windows that have plaster surrounds and fixed wooden glazing in a Y-tracery pattern, complemented by leaded glazing. The chancel includes a projection under a catslide roof on the south side and has a single window to the east, which features a 4-centred head and wooden glazing with three cusped lights and cusped spandrels.

The west tower is roughcast on the west side and has flanking lean-to bays and a hipped porch. It includes lancet windows in the flanking bays and above the porch, which has casement windows and paired doors. The bell stage of the tower features paired louvred lancets and a projecting embattled parapet. There is also a small projection under a single-pitch roof at the north-west angle. Inside, the church has a flat ceiling, cased beams, an octagonal font, and stained glass in the east window.
