Church of St Mary and St Augustine, Stamford, Gothic Revival church in Stamford, England.
The Church of St Mary and St Augustine is a stone structure in the Gothic Revival style, featuring a prominent nave and a two-bay north aisle with Romanesque arches. The presbytery building adjoins the main church, creating an integrated complex for worship and parish activities.
The church was completed in 1864, replacing an earlier chapel that had long served as one of only six Catholic places of worship in Lincolnshire. Its construction marked a period of renewed Catholic presence in the region.
The Lady Chapel houses a substantial Madonna and Child statue from the mid-1800s, a gift from the Lamb family of County Durham. This sculpture serves as a focal point for prayer and reflects the connections between local benefactors and the parish.
The church sits on Broad Street in Stamford and is easily recognizable by its Gothic Revival exterior. Visitors can attend regular services or contact the parish office nearby for information about the community and visiting opportunities.
American servicemen stationed nearby after World War II donated hand-carved wooden stations of the cross to the church. These pieces represent a rare connection between military history and religious art in the parish.
