A stunning interior designed by Britain’s greatest Victorian architect

This little church was built in 1851 to the designs of Augustus Welby Pugin. Pugin was Britain’s most influential architect in the first half of the 19th century and designed everything from buildings to ceramics, stained glass, wallpapers, textiles, memorial brasses to church plates. He worked in the Gothic-Revival style and his best-known works are the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben. In Ireland, his buildings include the cathedrals at Enniscorthy and Killarney and the great seminary at Maynooth. Pugin died of exhaustion through overwork one year after the completion of Barntown Church at the age of forty after 3 wives and 7 children!
