The Gothic hidden gem in Lancashire, England

The Gothic jewel behind Euxton Hall: a testament to architect E. W. Pugin, currently serving as a private residence. Built 1866, designed for the Anderton family.

The small stained glass window in the west wall, manufactured by Hardman & Co. on 14 October 1866, incorporates the coat of arms of the Anderton family. The encaustic floor tiles in the center aisle also display the Anderton family coat of arms. Herbert Minton, who created the first reliable method for producing encaustic tiles, worked closely with Pugin in their design. Euxton Hall Chapel is one of the important works of architect E.W. Pugin, currently serving as a private residence per English Heritage and the Ancient Monuments Society.
