St Augustine's is a magnificent 19th century building. Designed by George Frederick Bodley it is Grade 1 Listed and is hugely significant in the northwest. Known locally as the 'Miners Cathedral' it stands as the gift of Edward Heywood.

St Augustine's is to be found up the hill from the picturesque village green on the right hand side. With its white interior walls repainted in the past few years, it really is a special place for worship, and the acoustics are wonderful for the frequent concerts held there.

St Augustine's Church was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries at the request of the Archbishop of Warsaw, Wincenty Teofil Popiel. In November 1940, the church became part of the Warsaw Ghetto. When the ghetto was liquidated, a warehouse was created in the church, where the stolen goods of the Jews were stored; later, the church was desecrated and turned into a stable. After the war, it was the highest and one of the few remaining buildings of the former ghetto.

The Sint-Augustinuskerk (St Augustine's Church) was built between 1796 and 1863 in a neoclassical style. The building was designed by Karel Georg Zocher. This was the first major Catholic church built in Utrecht since the restoration of religious freedom in the country.

St Barbara-Kirche is located in Hultrop, a village in Nordrhein-Westfalen about 8 miles north of Soest.

For many years St Barnabas has been known as 'The Church on the North Downs Way'. Unusually, the main door faces away from the road since it was designed to be entered from the Great House. For a hundred years St Barnabas was the centre of life on the Estate, answering the frequent question posed now when Mansion and original Estate are long gone, 'Why this extraordinary building is here, apparently in the middle of nowhere?'

Dating from 1724 when the almshouses forming the three sided courtyard, with St Bartholomew's chapel in the centre, were founded, along with a small hospital building.

The church is situated in the centre of Meltham and was consecrated on St Bartholomew's day 1651 by Bishop Henry Tilson a former Bishop of Elphin in Ireland. The church is believed to be one of a very few in England to be consecrated during the Commonwealth period.

St Bartholomew's is a fine and much loved church, full of interest. The nave and side aisle roofs were renewed in 2009, the latest work in a building that dates from about 1220. The church is particularly famous for its monuments.

People have been worshiping in this beautiful place for over a thousand years. The church dates back to the 13th century and there is a real feeling of tranquility and spirituality here standing on the bank of the River Stour.
