Peter Paul Pugin was only a year old when his father died. He later began practice as the junior partner in
Pugin & Pugin, the family architectural firm. The senior partner was his half-brother Edward Welby Pugin. When Edward Welby Pugin died suddenly on 5 June 1875 as a result of overwork and 'injudicious use of
chloral hydrate', the main responsibility for the practice passed to Peter Paul Pugin. Although Peter Paul's offices remained in
London, England and
Liverpool, England, his practice was largely Scottish, and he also maintained an office in
Glasgow, Scotland. Whereas Peter Paul's earlier churches were strongly influenced by his father and brother, by the 1880s, he had developed a recognisable curvilinear
Gothic style, usually in red sandstone with elaborate altarpieces in coloured marbles. Peter Paul died in
Bournemouth in March 1904, the firm being continued by his nephew Sebastian Pugin Powell, born in 1886, the son of John Hardman Powell. Peter Paul Pugin was buried in
Ramsgate. ==Works==
