An octagonal Limestone font, the stem perhaps of 13th century: octagonal with broach stops alternating with stops having sunk cusping. The plain bowl was renewed in the 19th century.
St Augustine's is a small single-cell church of flint with a wooden bell-turret on the West gable and a thatched roof. Inside there is a 14th century wooden screen. St Augustine's underwent Victorian restoration in about 1860, which was when the bell-turret, the east window and the chancel furnishings were added.
