Church of St Augustine of Canterbury

The Church of St Augustine of Canterbury is an Anglican church that began construction in 1885, designed by J.D. Sedding, with the west front completed in 1916 by J. Harold Gibbons. The church is built of stock brick, featuring red brick and stone dressing, and has a tiled roof. It consists of an eight-bay nave, chancel, and aisles. The west front, facing Archway Road, is designed in a distinctive free Gothic style, highlighted by a prominent west tower with a pagoda roof that slopes down to the level of the nave roof. The exterior includes large gabled transverse buttresses at the corners and long stepped buttresses at the front, along with flamboyant tracery in the high west window.

The church has a projecting narthex with a central section faced in stone, adorned with roof figures in high relief and other pictorial carvings. Inside, the nave leads directly into the chancel, supported by arcades on solid masonry piers. The clerestory features windows with slit lancets set in wide pointed arches. The Lady chapel, which has a barrelled roof, was fitted out by Henry Wilson and completed around 1930. The east end was remodeled in 1925 by J. Harold Gibbons after a fire, replacing three original bays with a new organ gallery. The Hunter organ was installed in 1926, and the altar and reredos panelling were completed in 1938 by Adrian Scott, with the altar front crafted by Linthout of Bruges. Figures above the altar were added in 1958, and a shrine to Mary in the east nave was created in 1962 by Laurence King. There is also a large undercroft located beneath the west end of the church.
