Today we publish the latest edition of our heritage newsletter, The Pilgrim Rabbit. This special edition profiles the troubled genius Augustus Pugin, who was St Mary’s architect from 1844 until his death in 1852. A fascinating and hugely influential figure, the article looks at Pugin’s work at St Mary’s (including the great West Window and our weathervane) and the part which Beverley played in his life.
