St Augustine's Church, Norwich, Anglican church in Norwich, England
St Augustine's Church exhibits an uncommon red brick tower from the 17th century, standing atop a flint base in northern Norwich.
The church's earliest written record dates to 1163, with substantial reconstruction occurring in the 15th century and a new tower built between 1682 and 1687.
The church interior contains memorials to notable figures, including architect Matthew Brettingham and local servicemen who served in World War One.
Visitors need to obtain a key from a nearby shop to access the church, which lacks modern amenities such as heating and restrooms.
Local parish members earned the nickname 'red-steeplers' due to the distinctive red brick tower, the only one of its type in Norwich.
