Church Of St Augustine

The Church of St Augustine is a parish church that dates back to the 14th century, with the chancel originating in the 13th century. It was originally designed with transepts and chapels on either side of the chancel, and the intersection of the south transept arch with an earlier chancel window indicates these two building phases. The tower, constructed in the 14th century, features later belfry windows and a parapet. The porch was added in the 15th century.

The north and south aisles were reroofed with cross gables in the late 17th century and were refenestrated with large cast iron lattice windows in the 19th century. The roofs of the chancel and nave were rebuilt in the 17th century, and the chancel arch was removed in the 19th century, with two 18th-century urns placed on the responds. The transepts and chapels were demolished in the 17th century, and their openings were blocked. The chancel's east window is modern and replaces an earlier five-light window. The church's walls are made of flint and pebble rubble, plastered with dressings of clunch and Barnack limestone, with interior details in clunch. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, and there are red brick buttresses and wall repairs.

The west tower has three stages and features clasping buttresses. The cross-gabled aisles consist of three bays with small two-light windows above the large inserted windows. The remaining walls of the transept project from the south aisle. Inside, the nave arcade comprises three bays with octagonal piers, moulded capitals and bases, and two-centred arches of two chamfered orders. The reduced chancel arch is similar to that of the nave. Both the nave and chancel have flat plastered ceilings. There is a double piscina with foiled drains and trefoiled arches, and a 14th-century sidelia. The church contains three 14th-century wall tombs with ogee crocketed canopies, with the central tomb originally open to the north chapel. There are also 14th-century table tombs in the north aisle featuring two recumbent figures, and an octagonal font dated 1672. The 15th-century glass has been reset in the east window, and the pews are made of pine with raised and fielded panels.
