The Grange was built by Augustus Pugin in 1845 and remained in the family until 1928. The building reflects Pugin&#x27;s belief in the Gothic style as the only true Christian architecture and his ideal to live out his life in the Middle Ages. Pugin produced some of his finest work at The Grange including designs for the House of Lords.St Edward’s Presbytery which was built by Augustus Welby Pugin in 1850, part of this great architect’s original conception for this important Gothic revival site on the West Cliffs.The Presbytery has much restrained Pugin detailing to admire, although this simple house was not given the rich interiors of The Grange. It housed priests for only a few years. In the 1860s, Edward Pugin added a well-lit studio overlooking the courtyard of The Grange for his own architectural practice. Pugins lived here until 1928, when the Presbytery became part of the monks’ school.History sheets and a children&#x27;s activity sheet will be available on the day.Please note that there is no parkin g at this building. You can park your car on the Esplanade which is a short walk to the property. Those with limited mobility are able to be dropped off in front of the building.
