My great great grandfather's family were Welby-Burton's & my great grandfather was burton, the name Welby and Burton were joined together & then split up, later on. Making my great grandfather, Burton along with my grandmother, & of cause Pugin's full name was, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin & his second wife's name was Louisa Burton. Research i have done points to my family being related to Pugin. Thank you for uploading these films as i am trying to trace my family back as far as possible & i have found these films very interesting. My family including my self have the gift of being artists & if we truly are related to Pugin, this would make sense. Thank you again for uploading these films they have been a great insight & inspiration.
6:45 "We have shoddy buildings because we have shoddy souls. There is something wrong with our cities because there is something wrong with ourselves." This speaks true to our modern living and I couldn't say it any better. Even though we certainly live better lives than our ancestors financially, we feel so empty inside and it is best reflected with the oversimplified modern buildings in our cities that we no longer care about after a decade or so. It's no wonder why people nowadays love the demolition of modern buildings. ua-cam.com/video/iAh_W9hZ1C4/v-deo.html
At 10:08 we see a closeup of an altar - but this is certainly NOT by Pugin. It's a modern altar, geared to the 20th century innovation of the priest facing the people during Mass, and was crafted in the STYLE of Pugin, so as to fit in with the rest of the interior. Prior to this, the rood screen may have demarcated a symbolic line between heaven and earth, but priest and people were still united in that they all faced Pugin's magnificent HIGH ALTAR together, with the priest acting AS a priest, intermediary and intercessor - leading the people TO the altar, turning to the people, then to the altar again, etc. Pugin's high altar, candlesticks, sacred vessels, and the vestments he designed, gave dignity, beauty, and focus to the mystery of the Mass, with the altar being the most sacred spot in the church, for on it was manifested the Body and Blood of Christ. Now, it's just a pretty "backdrop", not at all what Pugin - or centuries of Christian liturgical tradition, especially Medieval - envisioned or intended.
9:12 ...You mean, if you could see it. I hope that was dramatic lighting before or that place would cost a fortune to light. Every Sunday it would be covered in candles so people wouldn't complain they couldn't see the decor (and there'd always be that one guy always asking the altar boys to move the candlesticks so he could see better....) 10:19 Pfft- no, no, I'm sure that could really happen. Just like it did back in...uh...how were things looking before William the Conquerer invaded and turned Britain into a corporate tax fund? We're kind of screwed after that point, to be honest.
Dumbest comment i've ever read. There's no such thing as a "nazi iron cross." It's the nazi swastika and the german iron cross. What you're looking at is neither.
Its funny the mud flood proponents would say these great Gothic buildings were pre flood from another Tartarian architecture and these people like Pugin have been added to history to say they designed them, as the British Monarch went in and stole the buildings off the prior inhabitants and then moved the people in and said 'look what we built before you arrived" with the industrial revolution! In truth the great Gothic architecture were mystery school magic, brilliant use of scared geometry, sonic geometry, and hidden wireless technology to power them prior to the 'invention' cough cough of electricity via poles and wires.
Pugin is my hero. I'm reading 'God's Own Architect' which is one of the best books I've ever read.

Thank you very much for such a remarkable documentary! Great Pugin!
Dont forget Charles Barry, he was another incredibly important figure in the Palace of Westminster.

Thanks for sharing, that makes a lot of sense
Great share as always :)
I'm getting contrasts tommorow!
Wow, just wow !!!!
What was mysterious before is more clouded now, but only by popular opinion. So not to worry.

Song at the beginning?
+Jacob Ryave I vow to thee, My Country by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice and Gustav Holst.
00:09 Freemason hand sign
00:28 Knights Templar cross shield
00:34 Nazi Iron cross
wow just look at all the symbolism
Except he was designing before Nazism had even been born -_- Plus Pugin was a devout Catholic, sworn enemies of freemasonry
