Background
History
The church was built in 1838, and its interior was reordered in 2000. From its foundation it was run by Benedictine monks from Ampleforth Abbey until 2012, when it was amalgamated with three other local churches to form a new parish.
Architecture
St Austin's is built in brick with stone dressings, a gabled stone west façade, and a slate roof. The west façade has a protruding gabled porch with diagonal buttresses and two lancet windows, above which is a niche containing a statue. Flanking the porch are lancet windows, and above it is a rose window with iron tracery. At the top of the gable is a louvred lancet. Rising from the corners of the façade are octagonal turrets. The sides of the church have five bays, each containing a lancet window between buttresses. Inside the church is a west gallery carried on iron columns. A shallow recess forms the chancel, which contains a reredos, above which is a large painting of the Crucifixion.…
