St Augustine's Church, Ramsgate

St Augustine's Abbey Church was part of the group of buildings that included the Grange, the home that Augustus Pugin built for himself and his family in Ramsgate, Kent. The church was at the very heart of his vision of a life well lived. He built it at his own expense, with the best materials and craftsmanship he could lay hands on, taking account of local traditions — for example, using flint as his main building material.
