St Augustine's, Harleston St Augustine's is a quaint Church located on a small hill some distance from the Village of Harleston. The Church clearly has been a family Church as there is still a mown path through the grass fields from the Church to Harleston Hall a couple of hundred yards away. 

The approach to the Church is along a picturesque gravelled driveway for a couple of hundred yards up a small slope. The bottom of the Drive is surrounded by a couple of pleasant ponds.
