Pugin Hall

Pugin Hall is a Gothic Revival house in Rampisham featuring intricate stonework, pointed arches, and tall windows. The structure was completed between 1846 and 1847 following designs by architect Augustus Pugin.

The house was built from 1846 to 1847 as a replacement for the crumbling Parsonage House and served as one of two Church of England rectories. Pugin was at the height of his career designing Gothic Revival buildings.

The interior shows how a well-to-do clergy family lived in the 1800s through its original Victorian elements and craftsmanship. These details reflect the standard of a refined rectory household from that era.

The house is privately owned and visits require advance notice and permission from the owner. You cannot simply walk by and view the interior without making prior arrangements.

This is the only Pugin project where the complete original building plans and specifications created by the architect himself have been preserved. This rare documentation makes it valuable for understanding his design methods.
