Product Description
Much of the study of the nineteenth-century architect, Augustus Welby Pugin has focused on his architecture and design. Pugin himself believed that his strongest influence lay in his writing; he played an important role in the nineteenth century religious revival because of his views as a liturgical architect. This book talks about this person.

What Dr. Powell does so successfully is to show how his architectural concerns come out of his theological beliefs and understanding..." - Revd. Dr. Ralph Waller, Principal Harris Manchester College, Oxford"
