Augustus Pugin (1812 – 1852) was an English architect, designer, artist and critic with French and Swiss origins. He is mainly remembered for his role in the Gothic Revival style of architecture. His work culminated in designing the interior of the Palace of Westminster in Westminster, London, and its clock tower, the Elizabeth Tower, which houses the bell known as Big Ben. Pugin designed many churches in England, and some in Ireland and Australia.
