St Augustine's Church, Anglican church building in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom

St Augustine's Church features a Gothic design with a 185-foot tower and spire, decorated nave pillars representing seasons and months, and painted chancel ceiling.

The church construction began with a foundation stone laying in 1867, followed by consecration in 1868 by the Bishop of Worcester.

The church maintains a surpliced choir performing works from Palestrina to Messiaen, with Herbert Howells composing St Augustine's Service in 1967.

The church opens daily for prayer services following the Book of Common Prayer, with current mass schedules available through their website.

The stone carvings by John Roddis include a reredos depicting the Last Supper and distinctive capitals on the nave pillars.
