St. Augustine's, Kilburn affectionately known as 'The Cathedral of North London' was established in 1870. Fr. Kirkpatrick, the first Vicar, engaged John Loughborough Pearson as the architect with the result being what many consider one of his finest works. Externally in 1890 with the tower and spire it became the 2nd tallest building in London (now ecclesiastically 2nd to St. Paul's Cathedral).
