Dudley St Augustine of Hippo

 

St Augustine of Hippo, Holly Hall


St Augustine’s was built in 1884 to serve the developing Holly Hall and Woodside areas to the west of the town centre. The architect, H. Drinkwater of Oxford, designed a red brick building with a central bellcote. A planned large tower in the south west corner was never built. There are several stained glass windows by the Camms of Smethwick.
