1934a. Anglican St. Augustine Church Thorpe Bay reminds me of Passchendaele Church after it was captured by Canadians in 1917. Probably additional expenditure on a small spire or battlements would make it look less like a ruin or power station cooling system. It originated as an iron church in the new suburb in 913, near Thorpe Bay train station, which opened in 1911. Most windows have an oolite ashlar with small Jurassic shells in it. These windows are small compared to the depressing bricks and the flattish roof makes it look as if it has not got one.
