The Gothic Revival gem of Euxton Hall

The Gothic Revival gem of Euxton Hall

In 1866, the Anderton family commissioned a Gothic chapel designed by E.W. Pugin, featuring work by Hardman & Co. and Herbert Minton.

The large stained glass window on the west wall, carefully crafted by Hardman & Co. on October 14, 1866, showcases the Anderton family's coat of arms. The center aisle's encaustic floor tiles mirror the same family emblem. Herbert Minton, the first manufacturer to produce these tiles in 1830, collaborated closely with Pugin in their making.

A marvel of E.W. Pugin's genius, Euxton Hall Chapel stands as one of his significant works. In 2004, the chapel was restored by conservationist Andrew Gray and converted by him to a private residence.
