St Barnabas' Cathedral
North Circus Street
Nottingham
NG1 5AE
The architect of St Barnabas' Cathedral was Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. A Catholic convert with little formal architectural training, Pugin's architectural theories and practice transformed English Church building. Despite his death at just 40, he both galvanised the British Gothic Revival and stimulated Gothic revivals internationally. Within a few years of his death, Gothic revival architecture had become a worldwide movement. Saint Barnabas' Cathedral is considered to be one of his three best churches.
