St Augustine of Hippo, Grimsby

As part of the land of the Parish had belonged to the Augustinian Canons of Wellow Abbey, it was appropriate that it should be placed under the patronage of St Augustine of Hippo.

St Augustine's is a truly beautiful church, designed by Sir Charles Nicholson.

Henry Thorold describes the fine interior with its numerous altars, statues and lamps as "the kind of church that compels people to their knees".

The exterior of the church is also pleasing to the eye, with Virginia Creeper covering its walls and a well-kept and imaginative garden surrounding it.

[1] An altar set was presented as a memorial to James Paul Moody, 6th Officer on the Titanic.
