St Augustine's College, Anglican theological college in Canterbury, England

The college occupies buildings within St Augustine's Abbey complex, featuring stone architecture and educational facilities for religious training.

Founded in 1848 as a missionary college for the Church of England, the institution trained clergy for service in British colonies until 1947.

The college educated thousands of students in religious studies, Oriental languages, practical medicine, and handicrafts for their missionary work abroad.

The buildings now serve as part of King's School Canterbury, while the abbey ruins remain open as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

German air raids in 1942 scattered glass fragments across the grounds, leading to extensive efforts to prevent soil contamination.
