The architect and designer Augustus Welby Pugin (1812-52), whose
early commissions included furniture for George IV at Windsor,
assured his place in history through his work with Sir Charles
Barry on the Palace of Westminster following the 1834 fire. A
pivotal figure in Britain's Gothic Revival, he became a Roman
Catholic in 1835, combining his religion with his devotion to the
medieval in building projects such as Nottingham Cathedral, St
George's Cathedral in Southwark, and Mount St Bernard Abbey in
Leicestershire. Benjamin Ferrey (1810-80) studied architectural
draughtsmanship under Augustus Charles Pugin (1762-1832). Boarding
with the Pugins for seven years, he gained first-hand knowledge of
father and son. This 1861 work is a lasting achievement in
architectural biography. It includes a substantial appendix by
Edmund Sheridan Purcell, a family friend whose own Catholicism
equipped him to discuss the religious aspects of the younger
Pugin's character and work.
