The tower with its diagonal buttresses and battlements was added around 1400 to the small, aisleless church of 13th-century, Early English origin. The semioctagonal brick stair turret was built on around 1525. Frederic Chancellor, the diocesan architect, restored the tower in 1935. There are three bells: two of them cast in 1333 and among the oldest in the country, the third from the late 15th century. The Image is on the south-west buttress of the tower. St Augustine's is listed Grade I https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101123044-parish-church-of-st-augustine-of-canterbury-ashen
