Pusey House, Religious center in St Giles, Oxford, England
Pusey House is a Gothic-style building in Oxford featuring two vaulted chapels, lecture spaces, and a substantial library dedicated to theological study. The rooms are arranged to serve both worship and academic purposes throughout the week.
This institution was founded in 1884 as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey, a significant theological thinker of the 1800s. It was created with donations to support clergy training and theological research.
The place was established to preserve and promote the ideas of the Oxford Movement. Visitors can see here how this theological movement shaped English Christianity.
The chapel opens for prayer and services on weekday mornings, with extended hours available throughout the day. The library operates on restricted hours, particularly on certain weekdays, so checking ahead before visiting helps plan your time well.
The house holds a specialized collection of documents and texts from the Oxford Movement that are difficult to find elsewhere. This collection still helps researchers and theologians today understand the history of this important theological movement.
