St Augustine's Cross, Monumental cross in Minster, England.
The stone cross rises 23 feet tall on Cottington Road, featuring intricate carvings of biblical figures, animals, and geometric patterns on all sides.
Erected in 1884, this Grade II listed monument marks the location where St Augustine met King Ethelbert of Kent during his mission to convert Anglo-Saxons in 597.
The cross displays emblems of Four Evangelists on its west face, while runic motifs and panels depicting saints decorate the eastern section.
Located near Pegwell Bay, approximately two miles west of Ramsgate, the cross includes informational plaques in Latin and English for visitors.
The structure incorporates stone from Doulting quarry, the same material used in Glastonbury Abbey, and follows design elements from 8th and 9th-century crosses.
