Description
The Church of St Augustine is a Grade II* listed building located in Westbury. It features rubble stone construction with tiled roofs, and a slate-covered aisle. The tower has a 19th-century saddle-back roof. The nave consists of three bays with early 14th-century arcades supported by octagonal piers that have moulded caps and bases, with the north side being more elaborate. A 19th-century clerestory is present. The chancel arch and the arch leading to the west tower date back to the 13th century, with the latter displaying serrated ornamentation. Inside the chancel, there are two 13th-century lancet windows and a decorated three-light east window. The south wall includes a piscina, a vestry doorway, and an archway that contains the organ. Much of the church was restored in 1863, and it features 19th-century stained glass.
