AUGUSTUS WELBY NORTHMORE PUGIN (1812-1852)
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852), English architect, designer and author, was a leading figure in the Gothic Revival and the Oxford Movements. His designs include St. Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham, Balliol College, Oxford, and St. Augustine's Church, Ramsgate. His True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture (1841) inspired John Ruskin. During his last years he worked with Sir Charles Barry on the new Palace of Westminster. Pugin died in London on September 14, 1852.
