Church of St Augustine

The Church of St Augustine is a parish church dating from the 14th, 15th, and 17th centuries. It is constructed primarily of flint with stone and brick dressings, and features a brick tower. The roof is lead, with plain tiles covering the chancel. The church comprises a nave and chancel, each with north and south aisles, and a south porch. A rood turret is located against the north aisle. The three-stage brick tower was built between 1683 and 1687.

The west window is pointed and has a three-centred arch with a chamfered brick reveal and metal glazing bars. Re-used traceried sound holes are present. The belfry windows have two-centred arches with double-order brick reveals and a central mullion, topped with a rendered crenelated parapet. The four-bay nave has simple two-light decorated aisle windows. The single-storey south porch has a flat-kneelered gable and a two-centred arch outer door. Four clerestory windows, located north and south, feature Y-tracery and four-centred arches. The two-bay chancel has three-light perpendicular windows to the aisles, and a five-light east window with a four-centred arch. The tower arch provides access to the ringing chamber, which is located halfway up the tower, and incorporates balusters. The chancel arch is supported on a corbel. The arcade piers are octagonal, with four-centre double order arches. The nave roof is a tied beam design dating from around 1520, with arched braces to the wall posts and arched wall-braces above the clerestory windows. A scissor-brace roof covers the chancel. A plain inscription plate is dedicated to Mathew Brettingham, dated 1769.
