Where 2 dates are given, the first refers to the laying of the Foundation Stone, the second to the Opening (often of an incompletely finished building, particularly with respect to the chancel); where a single date is given, it usually refers to the Opening, unless otherwise stated.

1	1852–54 (with JA Hansom ): Leith, Scotland – Our Lady Star of the Sea (Stella Maris): completes AWN Pugin's church, which became an OMI Parish Church in 1859; N. aisle & chancel not added until 1910–12 when the orientation of the church was reversed.

It became the Abbey Church of an independent Benedictine Foundation in 1920 (having, for some time, served as Pro-cathedral, and subsequently as the Cathedral of the Diocese of Newport & Menevia): see B4 & D7.

23	1859–60: Liverpool, Merseyside – Holy Cross (& presbytery, OMI): chancel & sanctuary of 1874–75; High Altar (1882) by Pugin & Pugin.

41	1863–64: Rugby, Warks – St Marie (& presbytery, IC ): an extensive rebuild of AWN Pugin's 1847 church, the nave of which was incorporated as the S. aisle of the new church. The Lady Chapel of the earlier church was completely demolished to make way for the new nave, into which AWN Pugin's High Altar was moved; it was returned to its original position in 1897–98 when the present High Altar & reredos (by R Donnelly) were installed. The W. end was extensively remodelled (1871–72) by B Whelan to include a new Baptistry and belfry-cum-spire.

57	1865–66: Stratford-upon-Avon, Warks. – St Gregory the Great (OSB): the present W. front and porch (incorporating the original main entrance) are not the original, and date from 1957-58, when foundational problems necessitated a complete rebuild of the W. wall, but to a quite different design: the buttresses either side of the main entrance were removed, as was the bellcote, and the original Rose window replaced by a 3-light window with geometrical tracery. The present W. end bellcote (to a similar, but less dominant, design than the original) dates from the 1980s. Despite its appearance, the presbytery is not by EW Pugin, the original part (which could well be by PP Pugin) dating from 1889.

59	1865–68: Whitehaven, Cumbria – St Begh/Bee (OSB): the W end bellcote (the design of which differed significantly from that proposed originally, being instead very similar to that of A60, built during the same period) has long since been dismantled; it was at first replaced by a metal cross, but even this has now disappeared.
60	1865–68: Barton-upon-Irwell, Greater Manchester – All Saints' (& presbytery): the church was added on to the pre-existing de Trafford Chantry (A38) of 1863, which lies to the NE. of the church.
