Church of St Augustine

The Church of St Augustine is a church constructed in two phases. The nave was built in 1896, and the chancel in 1914, designed by Granville Edward Stewart Streatfeild, who was a pupil of TG Jackson and previously worked in the office of R Blomfield; Sir TG Jackson served as a consultant on the later chancel work. The building is of red brick in Flemish bond, with stone dressings, and a tiled roof. It consists of a five-and-a-half bay nave with clerestory, a four-bay apsidal-ended chancel with ambulatory and clerestory, and a Lady Chapel. A south porch is also present. A tower was never constructed, and the west end was left incomplete.

The nave of 1896 features paired Perpendicular windows in each bay, separated by pilasters and blank niches. Aisles are lit by windows with triple cinquefoil lights. The east end has an octagonal stone finial. The south porch has a cross finial and a sundial inscribed with the motto “THE LIGHT COMETH WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK”. An arched doorcase with trefoil lights provides access to a fanlight and double doors, which have elaborate scrolled hinges. The chancel of 1914 has windows with reticulated tracery above flying buttresses with octagonal finials, and continuous-light windows below. The Lady Chapel exhibits double cinquefoil lights with tracery above buttresses. The west front has end buttresses and a central pointed arched window flanked by two lancets. An arched west door is set within a penticed porch featuring a triple lancet window.

The interior displays a Perpendicular style arcade and stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe and Walter Ernest Tower.
