The 12th-century church had just a nave and a chancel. A lady chapel was added in the 13th century, and a tower in the 14th. A north aisle was added, too. By the 19th century the church had become too small for the town’s growing population and was in a poor state of repair. A new St Augustine’s, which was dedicated in January 1923, was built on a plot of land opposite. https://www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/custom/HeritageTrail/old_chancel.html
