Churches (168) : St Augustine of Canterbury, Rugeley

The parish church of St Augustine in Rugeley, Staffordshire was built in the early 1820s and opened in 1823. It replaced the original church which had grown too small and was in a state of disrepair, unusually the remains of the original church still exist and is the opposite side of the road from the new church!

The church was built somewhat to the Perpendicular Gothic style with some additions in the early 20th century. The church has a five bay nave with clerestory. At the west is a tower and the east a chancel. The church is built from ashlar masonry with a slate roof.
