St Ann's Church, Warrington is a redundant church in Warrington, Cheshire, England (grid reference SJ606890). It is a Grade II* listed building.[1] It is no longer in use as a church but is an indoor climbing centre.[2] At one time the building was heated by steam from the adjacent Tetley Walker's brewery.[1]
History
The church was built between 1866 and 1868 to a design by John Douglas.[1]
Structure
It is built in red brick with some dressings in blue brick and it has a slate roof. Its plan consists of a six-bay nave without aisles, an apsidal chancel, north and south porches, a north vestry and a southeast tower. The tower is in the angle between the nave and the chancel and in in three stages. In the lower stage is a single lancet window and in the second stage are three similar windows. The third stage contains pairs of louvred bell openings and above these is a corbelled parapet. On the southwest corner is a stair-turret rising to the height of the tower and capped by a tall conical-roofed turret rising above the parapet. On top of the tower is a tall steeply-pitched saddle-back roof.[1]
