The Grange Ramsgate. Home of the famous Victorian architect Augustus Welby Pugin

---

Augustus Pugin built this house in 1843-4 to live in with his family. He built it to live out his idea of life in a mediaeval, Catholic community, in buildings executed in the Gothic style. His vision was of a family home nestling in the shadow of a benevolent monastery and he bought enough land to erect St Augustine's Priory next door.
