In the mid 19th century, Pugin reinvented a medieval style of architecture that became known as Gothic Revival. Best known for his work on the Houses of Parliament, he built the Grange in Ramsgate in the 1840s using his own money and with, as he put it, “not [/font][font=Arial, sans-serif]an untrue bolt or joint from foundation to flagpole”. Amazingly, the house was about to be destroyed in 2004 when the Landmark Trust set about restoring it. Time Team follows the transformation of the property and visits other Pugin creations around the country. It promises to be an intriguing mix of Grand Designs and Restoration.[/font]

Tony Robinson talks us through the renovation of, perhaps, one of the most important homes ever built; Augustus Pugin's home in Ramsgate. In the mid 19th century, Pugin reinvented a medieval style of architecture that became known as Gothic Revival. Best known for his work on the Houses of Parliament, he built the Grange in Ramsgate in the 1840s using his own money and with, as he put it, “not [/font][font=Arial, sans-serif]an untrue bolt or joint from foundation to flagpole”. Amazingly, the house was about to be destroyed in 2004 when the Landmark Trust set about restoring it. Time Team follows the transformation of the property and visits other Pugin creations around the country. It promises to be an intriguing mix of Grand Designs and Restoration.[/font]
