This Will Be The Third Time That A Latin Missa Cantata Has Been Celebrated In This Mediaeval Church Since 1538.

Saint Augustine's Church, 

Snave, Ashford, Kent.

A Latin Missa Cantata will be Celebrated here on Saturday, 23 September 2017, 1200 hrs.

Travel Directions are given, below.

It is possible that a small private Chapel stood on this site before the present building was commenced in the Late-13th-Century. The East End is unusual in that The Lady Chapel

(more recently used as a school room) vies for importance with The Chancel.

Declared redundant in 1983, Saint Augustine's Church is now entirely maintained by

The Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust.
