Roman Catholic Church of St Anne
II
Roman Catholic church. 1851, with some small extensions.
Crazed sandstone cladding (perhaps on brick), with sandstone
ashlar dressings and fishscale slate roof. Decorated style.
Nave on north-south axis, with south tower, east and west
aisles, north chancel with west chapel.
The square tower, with angle-buttresses and a north-east
stair-turret, has a plinth with massive moulded coping, a
2-centred arched trefoil-headed south doorway with deeply
moulded surround and hoodmould with figured stops; an
ogival-headed niche containing a statue of St Anne, a
weathered band to the belfry stage which has louvred 2-light
windows with hoodmoulds, and an embattled parapet and swept
pyramidal roof.
The 6-bay nave, with pilasters strips and corbel tables, has
spherical-triangle clerestory windows. The aisles, with
buttreses, have 2-centred arched 2-light windows with
hoodmoulds which have foliated stops; and the west aisle,
which carries across the side of the tower, has a gabled porch
to the 2nd bay, with a double-chamfered 2-centred arched
doorway, and at the north end a canted bay with blind
arcading. The chapel to the north of this has 2 tall lancets
in the side and a 2-centred arched window in the north gable,
with reticulated tracery. Most windows have cast-iron diamond
lattice glazing.
INTERIOR: conventional, with octagonal columns carrying
double-chamfered aisle arcades. High alter designed by Edmund
Kirby, a Liverpool architect, in 1874 and carved by Roddis,
sculptor.
