\nProbably one of Ramsgate&rsquo\;s most famo
us residents\, the international architect Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin
(1812-52)\, is best known for the magnificent interiors\, furnishings an
d fittings of the Houses of Parliament. His contribution to the townscape
of Ramsgate brought lasting fame to the town and you too can discover th
e remarkable landmarks both designed and inspired by Pugin. He \;move
d to Ramsgate with his family in 1843 and having acquired land in the tow
n\, designed and built The Grange on the West Cliff overlooking the sea.
As a Catholic convert\, Pugin wanted to design and build a church with hi
s own funds and in 1845 began St Augustine'\;s Church. Not only did he
design the church\, but nearly all the fittings. It is here in the Pugin
family vault\, beneath the Pugin Chantry\, that he\, his wife Jane and o
ther close members of the family were laid to rest. \;Our guided tour
s will take in The Grange\, St Augustine'\;s Church and a special view
ing of the Pugin archives.
