St Augustine's Church, Grimsby

Off Weelsby Road, on the corner of Legsby Avenue and St Augustine Avenue.

St Augustine's is a truly beautiful church, built in 1911 and designed by Sir Charles Nicholson. Henry Thorold describes the fine interior with its numerous altars, statues and lamps, as 'the kind of church that compels people to their knees'.  St Augustine's is very much in the Anglo-Catholic tradition and contains some fine statues and distinctive green pews.   There are two stained-glass windows in the north aisle by Sir Ninian Comper. The exterior of the church is also pleasing to the eye, with Virginia Creeper covering its walls and a well-kept and imaginative garden surrounding it.   Services are held everyday.

Open: Wednesday 10.15am - 12 noon.  This is a church not to be missed.
