The only 17th-century brick tower in Norwich

The rare and distinctive 17th-century brick tower of St Augustine is the only one of its kind in Norwich.

This Medieval city church, which sits next to 17th-century almshouses to the north of the city, also has kaleidoscopically bright Victorian stained glass, set into Perpendicular windows.

Inside there are two plain, but significant, monuments one to Matthew Brettingham, architect of Holkham Hall, and the other to a textile manufacturer, Thomas Clabburn, erected by '600 weavers’.

St Augustine's is one of three CCT churches in Norwich.

Keyholder

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.

Disabled access

Facilities

Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
