- Title
Pugin's Albury Chimneys.
- Authors
Engelen, Lizzie
- Abstract
Pugin's well-documented criticisms of the Tudor style of architecture have caused academics to doubt that he designed the plethora of chimneys at the west front of Albury, Park. Given his strong architectural principles, how could he have compromised them so far as to give Albury a 'completely unconvincing Tudor dress'? Based on research of the archives at Almwick Castle, this paper resolves the attribution by investigating the commission, and the goes on to reconcile Pugin's personal theories of style, religion, function and ornamentation with his design of Albury and the demands of a flamboyant, status-conscious client. When we attribute of deny work to artists, the rules should be interpreted in the context of their time.
