St Anne's Church, Ugthorpe

St Anne's Church is a Catholic church in Ugthorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

A Catholic chapel was established in Ugthorpe in 1679, in the attic of the priest's house. A dedicated church was built in 1810, then in 1855 it was converted into a school and the current church was opened. The neo-Gothic church was designed by George Goldie, with funding from the Nelson family. The building was grade II listed in 2014.[1][2]

The church is built of sandstone with Welsh slate roofs. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a north sacristy, a chancel, and a west tower containing a porch. The tower has two stages, a string course, a parapet and a pyramidal roof. The porch has a doorway with a pointed arch, above which is a niche containing a statue. To the left of the tower is a Calvary. Inside the church are the original pews, an older altar rail, and a painted stone altar. The east and west windows have stained glass by John Hardman Powell and two windows in the north aisle may also be by him.[1][2][3]
