The late John D Sedding began this church, and erected what is now standing, some years ago. This drawing, showing the scheme for finishing the west front, by Mr. J. Harold Gibbons, architect, was chosen in a limited competition, and more or less approved, but in execution some modifications will probably be made, to realise the architect's intentions on the lines thus somewhat sketchily rendered by this Royal Academy perspective.

The Bishop of London dedicated on Saturday afternoon an addition which has been made to the west end of St. Augustine's Church, Highgate. at a cost of nearly £8,000, from the designs of Mr J. Harold Gibbons ARIBA, of Wellington road, St. John's Wood. [Building News 26 June 1914 Page 878].

Gibbons also carried out repairs after a fire (post 1924)
