Pugin was one of the most celebrated and prolific supporters of the Victorian Gothic Revival style. He believed that Gothic architecture was not a style but a principle; saying it should be honest, revealing the structure and function of the building and elements within it. During his lifetime, Pugin designed more than 100 buildings in this style, however in 1852, he passed away at the age of 40 supposedly from overwork.
Bilton Grange was extended in the 1840s by Pugin and has since been used as Bilton Grange Preparatory School.
