	Pugin wanted a moral revolution and vision expressed in architecture. In his first book written when he was twenty-four he expressed his hatred for [[Nash]]'s Buckingham Palace and [[Soane]]'s British Museum. From here he started to design churches, monasteries, convents, schools and a few private homes. Later in 18?? he would complete St Giles, Cheadle for John Talbot, Lord Shrewsbury. The interiors are resplendent harking back to the great Gothic churches of the Middle Ages. Every where you eyes rest in the church is designed in a way to move you. For instance he revived an ornamental [[Architecture Glossary #Rood Screen\|Rood Screen]] to signify where Heaven met Earth. He collaborated widely in the building of the church employing John Crace on the interiors, Herbert [[Minton]] on the floor ceramics and John Hardman on the metal work. On this building and others in the future he would use master craftsman John Myers.		Pugin wanted a moral revolution and vision expressed in architecture.

	For the 1851 Great Exhibition he designed a medieval court. It was a great hit with the public bit won no prizes. He was distraught and buried himself in the every more expensive church he was building next to his house. There was one last swansong for Pugin. In 1850 Barry approached him to design the not yet built Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster. It would become the defining element of the Palace and the symbolism of Parliament and Britain. He did not live to see it built. In 1852 he suffered yet another mental breakdown and was confined to Bedlam. He returned home but died aged forty on the 14th September 1852. He is buried in his church at St Augustin's.		For the 1851 Great Exhibition he designed a medieval court. It was a great hit with the public bit won no prizes.
