The interesting and unusual view of St Augustine's below was taken by drone and kindly given to us by Steven Crammond.
Many thanks Steven
A pictorial view of St Augustine's
Some of these photographs were taken by our parishioners, however the more colourful 'fish eye' photographs of the church itself were taken by a local photographer called Christine Rutter and are published here with her kind permission.
A chance encounter with a lovely couple from Basildon, visiting Thorpe Bay for the day, resulted in a guided tour of St Augustine's in exchange for some photo's of the church (and very 'arty' they are too!) Many thanks to Emma Drury-Ward for the photo's below:
Some new pictures of things around the church that you may not have noticed.
Includes a prayer candle which has been lit in the lady Chapel - this can be done by anyone who wishes to send a prayer for a loved one. The second picture is our Royal Coat of Arms recalling the Diamond Jubilee in 2016. The third picture is the Pulpit Crucifix a particularly beautiful carved piece of work. The fourth picture is St Augustine's looking very scenic, if a little cold, in the 2018 snow.
