Description
The Church of St Augustine is a 13th-century parish church of national importance, which has seen little alteration over the years except for the crossing tower built in 1428 and the restoration carried out by G E Street between 1868 and 1876. Notable features include an exceptional late 14th-century font, stained glass created by Wailes and Son in 1878, with the finest examples found in the two east windows of the south aisle. Additionally, there is a fine brass eagle lectern from 1876, donated by J W Rawson, and the Royal Arms from 1741 located in the north transept. Significant monuments include a 13th-century black marble tomb cover in the north transept, a 14th-century effigy of a man holding a sword and purse in the chancel, and a Baroque cartouche dedicated to Ann Watson from 1721, also in the north transept.
