Description

St Anne's Episcopal Church was built in 1890-92 and completed in 1898-1900, designed by John Robertson. It is a Gothic-style church constructed of coursed, stugged rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The rectangular, four-bay plan includes a slightly narrower chancel at the east gable. A low, buttressed aisle runs along the north elevation, abutting a drum bell tower at the northwest angle, which has a conical slate roof and a pointed-headed entrance in its base. The north aisle has paired and triple lancet windows, with hexafoil lights in the clerestory. Large windows with geometric tracery are found in both the east and west gables.

The church features corbelled wallheads, pinnacles, triangular gablet ventilators, and a slate roof with a tiled ridge. Inside, the roof is open, constructed of dressed pitch-pine with moulded rafters springing from stone corbels. The church is furnished with pine pews, and cedar choir and chancel furnishings. A memorial window to the Duchess of Sutherland was created by Powell Bros, Leeds. Other stained glass windows are by T.C. Curtis, Ward and Hughes (dated 1899 and 1900), and Heaton Butler and Bayne. A marble and alabaster altar dating to 1916 is present, alongside a reredos and carved pulpit made of Caen stone and alabaster, also circa 1916. The building continues to be used as an ecclesiastical building and was built as a memorial to Anne, Duchess of Sutherland and Countess of Cromartie.
