The Shrine of St. Augustine & National Pugin Centre
Heritage Open Day: The Shrine of St. Augustine of Canterbury & National Pugin Centre was built by Augustus Welby Pugin in the Gothic Revival architectural design. Pugin is well known for his involvement in designing the Houses of Parliament & Big Ben. This is the home of the Gothic Revival, as the personal church of the man who built the Houses of Parliament – Augustus Pugin.
Pugin began building this church in 1844, after he moved into his home, The Grange, next door. He wrote, “I have a delightful plan of a flint seaside church and everything gives way to that.†It was to be the model of his ‘True Principles’ of architecture, reviving the gothic designs that he loved and emulated. This is the only church that Pugin designed and paid for himself.
