St Anne's Church, Thwaites

St Anne's is constructed in stone rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings. It is roofed with large slates. The plan consists of a four-bay nave with a clerestory, a south aisle, a chancel, and a north vestry. On the east end of the nave is a bellcote. There are cross finials on the east and west gables. At the west end there are three two-light windows under a rose window. Along the north wall of the nave and the south wall of the aisle are two-light windows containing plate tracery. The clerestory windows are quatrefoils in roundels. The east window in the chancel consists of a triple lancet window, there are three lancets on the south side of the chancel, and one on the north. The vestry has a three-light north window, and a single-light window and doorway to the east.[2][6]

Inside the church, the south arcade is carried on circular piers.[2][6] The stone reredos dates from 1863, and has marble colonnettes. All the stained glass is by William Wailes, other than a north window in the nave dated 1914 by Powells.[6] The stone font and pulpit were carved by George Henry Redpath Young of Ulverston in 1854 at a cost of £34.10s having been commissioned by Elizabeth Lewthwaite, gentlewoman of Broadgate.
