Church Of St Augustine

The Church of St Augustine was built in 1897 in the Gothic Revival style by JD Webster. It is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and a plain tile roof. The church has undergone alterations and additions in the mid and late 20th century.

The plan includes an incomplete chancel and transepts, a nave with a clerestory and narrow aisles, and a north-west tower with a spirelet. A late 20th-century south porch has also been added. The exterior features a plinth, string course, buttresses, coped parapets, and coped gables with crosses. The single bay chancel has a 5-light pointed arched window to the east, along with a pointed doorway and a lancet on the north side. The transepts have doorways in their east sides and two small lancets to the north and south, containing stained glass dating from 1917. The 5-bay nave has single lancets to the clerestory, and the west gable has a graduated triple window with a central 3-light pointed arched window with cinquefoil, flanked by single lancets. All windows have moulded surrounds and hoodmoulds, where the intermediate mullions extend upwards as pilasters. The south aisle has six windows and a single lancet in the west end, while the north aisle has four windows. The late 20th-century south porch features glazed double doors leading to the church and a parish room.

The square, three-stage north-west tower has gabled angle buttresses, which become octagonal turrets at the third stage and are topped with pinnacles. The tower includes a canted stair turret, a clock face on three sides, and a large pointed opening on each side containing a graduated triple lancet bell opening. A setback octagonal spirelet tops the structure.

The interior reveals that the western three bays of the nave are separated by a concrete block wall with 20th-century doors, creating a parish room. The chancel has a double-chamfered arch with a hoodmould, clustered shaft imposts, a sillband, linked hoodmoulds, and an arch-braced wagon roof supported by wall shafts on corbels. The north side features an organ arch and a window, while the south side houses a doorway. The east end contains a stained glass window from 1897. The transepts have arches that continue the nave arcades. The nave's 5-bay arcades have plain octagonal piers without capitals, with chamfered and moulded arches, and an arch-braced wagon roof with ringed wall shafts. The narrow aisles have half-arches at each pier and early 20th-century stained glass windows.

Notable fittings include an octagonal stone font with a bracketed wooden cover (1918), a brass tripod lectern, an octagonal oak skeleton pulpit, a Decorated style wooden reredos, and a Perpendicular style war memorial screen (1919), which has been resited at the west end.
