APPENDIX IX: SPIRE AND TOWER DESIGNS OF EW PUGIN, PUGIN & MURRAY, AND PUGIN & ASHLIN

This Appendix contains all spire & tower designs (arranged in chronological order) for which it has so far been possible to find images; not all were built/completed (in 6 cases, because the associated church was never built). The designs can be divided into the following 6 categories, the entries in which appear in chronological order. In the captions, (not built) refers to the spire/tower.
