Description
The Church of St Augustine, Apostle of England is a late 19th-century building constructed primarily of coursed Darley Dale stone, with Snowcrete and Blucrete used for the domes. The main elevation features three bays and a cylindrical tower to the north-west corner. A central bay has an arched entrance with a large round-headed window above, flanked by full-height pilasters. The west elevation is divided into a lower three-bay section featuring small arched windows and flat buttresses, above which is an inset clerestory stabilised with angle buttresses. The south elevation (the liturgical east end) incorporates a single-storey section with a Snowcrete dome, and an apse to the south-east corner that connects to the modern rectory. The east elevation presents a stepped façade composed of massed single and double-height ranges, with a mix of arched and square-headed windows, a side entrance, and angle buttresses marking the clerestory level. Exterior detailing is minimal and includes a dentil course.
The interior is designed in the Romanesque style, with walls lined in dressed ashlar stonework, featuring two large bays with saucer domes and a five-bay arcade that separates the chancel from the nave. Low arcades with round arch windows are present over each arch, supported by piers that are square at the west end and clustered at the east end. A Lady Chapel is located at the west end, containing stained glass from 1922 by John Hardman Studios. A glazed hardwood screen and a stair tower (leading to a gallery housing an organ) are also present. At the east end, an arcaded apse features three stained-glass windows and small arch windows above. A simple rectangular altar displays a marble relief carving of the Last Supper, with a large painted crucifix suspended above. A stone lectern with chamfered sides and carved details is positioned alongside the altar, and simple, open-backed bench pews line the nave. A two-storey vicarage, dated circa 1970 and attached to the south-east corner of the church, is not of special interest.
