The square tower, with angle-buttresses and a north-east

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

pyramidal roof.
The 6-bay nave, with pilasters strips and corbel tables, has

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.
