Music

Music is an integral part of the life of St Augustine’s and we are proud to have a strong musical tradition incorporating liturgical music and occasional concerts. 

It was our Patron Saint, St Augustine who brought Gregorian chant to England when he landed in AD 597 on the Kentish shores nearby: this style of music not only resonates through the annals of English history and the Western musical tradition but is also maintained in our church’s Sacred Liturgy to this day.

With crucial support from the Friends of St Augustine, Henry Willis and Sons led a complete restoration of the organ in 2018, skilfully integrating a custom console, designed in the Gothic Revival style, into its new location in the Lady Chapel.
