St Augustines Abbey

St Augustine's Abbey or Ramsgate Abbey is a previous Benedictine nunnery in Ramsgate. It was worked in 1860 by Augustus Pugin and is a Grade II recorded building. It was the principal Benedictine cloister to be worked in England since the Reformation. In 2010, the priests moved to St Augustine's Abbey in Chilworth, Surrey. The site is presently possessed by the Vincentian Congregation from Kerala, India. The congregation of St Augustine, over the street from the nunnery site, has a place with the Archdiocese of Southwark and is an altar of St Augustine of Canterbury.
Augustus Pugin had fabricated his home, The Grange, in Ramsgate, and St Augustine's Church nearby. He gave the congregation to the Catholic Diocese of Southwark before his demise in 1852, and The Grange stayed in private hands. In 1856, the Bishop of Southwark, Thomas Grant, welcomed the Subiaco Cassinese Congregation of the Benedictines to shape a devout network in Kent and assume control over the running of the congregation. The monastery was worked over the street from the congregation and this was structured by Edward Pugin and Peter Paul Pugin.
