St Augustine's, Kilburn
St Augustine's is a Church of England church in Kilburn, a northern suburb of London. The red-brick structure was erected in the 1870s, with vaulted ceilings and extensive interior stone sculpturing in a style reminiscent of 13th-century Gothic architecture. While the church was consecrated in 1880, its tower and spire were not constructed until 1897–98. The nave is 9 m (30 ft) wide and is decorated with religious art in various forms depicting major biblical stories. The stained-glass windows include a large rose window depicting the Creation, and others showing angels and saints, while the chancel and sanctuary are surrounded by densely carved sculptural forms depicting the Passion, crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and other religious iconography. St Augustine's is a Grade I listed building.
