St Augustine of Canterbury
The construction of a grand church, designed in the Roman basilica style, was necessitated in Swindon due to the population surge brought about by the Great Western Railway. This architectural marvel was built to accommodate the increasing number of residents in the area, offering a place of worship and community for the burgeoning populace. The church's design, reminiscent of ancient Roman basilicas, adds a touch of historical grandeur to the town, while serving a practical purpose for its residents.
