St Augustine's Church, Brookland, Medieval church in Brookland, England

The church features a separate octagonal bell tower structure and stands elevated on an artificial mound to prevent flooding in the marshy area.

Founded between 1150 and 1250, the church underwent modifications in the 15th century when its exposed timber frame received three layers of wooden cladding.

The church contains a 13th-century wall painting of Thomas Becket's martyrdom, discovered during restoration work in 1964, reflecting medieval religious artistry.

The church offers level access, on-street parking, bike security spaces, and remains open during daylight hours for visitors to explore its historical features.

The circular lead font from 1200 displays intricate zodiac signs and agricultural labor scenes, making it one of only thirty such fonts in Britain.
