Brookland - St Augustine

St Augustine is unique and is reminiscent of the wooden stave churches of Norway. The bell tower is completely separate from the rest of the church, being made entirely of wood. Originally it was just an open wooden framework to support a single bell. This structure probably dates from 1260, which is when the current church was built.

The church has of course been remodelled and enlarged several times over the years. The most interesting part here is the metal font on the right-hand side, as there are only thirty such fonts in England.
