Church of St Anno

A small single-cell church in C19 Gothic style, of rubble stone with freestone dressings and quoins, and renewed slate roof behind coped gables on moulded kneelers. The double W gabled bellcote has pointed bell openings and round opening above. The S porch has shallow angle buttresses to the side walls, and a 2-centred arch with continuous moulding and hood mould. The N and S walls have square-headed windows with cusped tracery. They comprise 2-light and 3-light nave windows and 2-light chancel window. Between nave and chancel is a stepped buttress. The chancel has a 3-light Decorated E window, the nave a 2-light Decorated W window, both with hood moulds. The W window is flanked by stepped buttresses.

Inside the porch are stone benches. The nave has pointed S doors with strap hinges. The arch is inscribed 'rebuilt Anno Domini 1877'. The interior has a 7-bay arched-brace roof on plain, short posts, and with a single tier of windbraces. Decorative tiles are in the chancel, richer in the sanctuary. The moulded wooden communion rail has octagonal posts and cusped brackets. A simple corbelled stoup has been re-set by the S door.

The rood screen dominates the interior. It has a broad central doorway flanked by 5 lights on either side, each with panelled dado and intricate openwork tracery of different designs. The doorway has a triangular head with traceried circles. Above a foliage cornice the coving has moulded and embossed ribs with openwork tracery panels of different designs (plain panels on the chancel side). The bressumer has 2 tiers of vine and foliage trails, the upper of which sprouts from the mouths of wyverns. The loft has a row of 25 canopied niches with Victorian figures, Christ in the centre, Apostles to the R, and kings, patriarchs and prophets to the L. The screen is crowned by a foliage cornice. On the chancel side there is a single broad foliage trail to the bressumer, and plain panels to the loft.

The plain octagonal font is C19. In the NW corner is a late C17 box pew adapted as a vestry, with simple geometric flower patterns, and a panel with 'David Lewis Churchwarden 1681' in raised letters. Late C19 pews have open backs and open arched ends. The pulpit, of similar date, has open arched panels on a freestone base. In the nave N wall is a corbelled freestone wall tablet to David Morgan (d 1814) by Edward Stephens of Llandrindod. The chancel N wall has a marble tablet to Evan Stephens (d 1833), the chancel S wall a freestone tablet to John Stephens (d 1875), which has a simple achievement with IHS in raised letters.

The E window has a panel depicting the Nativity.
