Church of St Augustin, Gothic Revival church in Central Bournemouth, England.
The Church of St Augustin is a Gothic Revival building constructed from Swanage stone with Bath stone trimmings, featuring a three-bay nave and a bell-turret at the west gable. The structure displays careful stonework with textured walls and dressed stone detailing throughout.
William Butterfield designed this church between 1891 and 1892, marking his final architectural work before his death in 1900. The project represents the culmination of his long career in church architecture.
The interior features white-painted walls with square pillars and colored stained glass by Bell & Beckham and Kempe & Co. These details create a bright, orderly space that reflects the craftsmanship of the era.
The building sits on Wimborne Road in central Bournemouth and is easily accessible from the town center. Services are held regularly, and visitors can enter during these times or by arrangement.
The font features a tall Gothic cover that represents Butterfield's detailed work. The heavy oak pulpit and wooden stalls throughout the interior also come from his design and reflect his distinctive approach to furnishings.
