St Anne's church is located on the south-east side of St Anne's Terrace (B4434), set back from the road through the village. It was built in Geometrical style in 1891-2 to the designs of architect E.H. Lingen Barker of Hereford, at the expense of the Rev David Griffiths. The church is constructed of snecked rock-faced local sandstone with generous Bath stone dressings and sill and impost bands; the slate roof is behind coped gables. The plan is cruciform and comprises nave and apsidal chancel, with transepts and asymmetrical three-stage north tower, the lower stage of which is the porch. The upper bell stage of the tower is octagonal and has big polygonal corner turrets; this, and the spire, are of ashlar. On its west side, in the angle with the nave, is a round stair turret with lancet to its left in the lower stage. Against the north side of the chancel is an outshut housing the organ.
The interior has pointed and boarded wagon roofs throughout. The nave has a floor of coloured tiles. The chancel arch has responds with foliage capitals, and a moulded two-centred arch with hood mould. The transepts have plainer arches without capitals. Fittings include font and pulpit of white stone and made as a pair. Stained glass is by Joseph Bell of Bristol (1891) and Mayer & Co (c.1900).
