In February 1852, while travelling with his son Edward by train, Pugin had a total breakdown and arrived in London unable to recognise anyone or speak coherently. For four months he was confined to a private asylum, [[Kensington House (academy)|Kensington House]]. In June, he was transferred to the [[Royal Bethlem Hospital]], popularly known as Bedlam. At that time, Bethlem Hospital was opposite [[St George's Cathedral, Southwark]], one of Pugin's major buildings, where he had married his third wife, Jane, in 1848. Jane and a doctor removed Pugin from Bedlam and took him to a private house in [[Hammersmith]] where they attempted therapy, and he recovered sufficiently to recognise his wife. In September, Jane took her husband back to [[The Grange, Ramsgate|The Grange]] in Ramsgate, where he died on 14 September 1852.<ref>{{harvp|Hill|2007|pp=484–490}}</ref> He is buried in his church next to The Grange, St. Augustine's.

On Pugin's death certificate, the cause listed was "convulsions followed by coma". Pugin's biographer, [[Rosemary Hill]], suggests that, in the last year of his life, he had had [[hyperthyroidism]] which would account for his symptoms of exaggerated appetite, perspiration, and restlessness. Hill writes that Pugin's medical history, including eye problems and recurrent illness from his early twenties, suggests that he contracted [[syphilis]] in his late teens, and this may have been the cause of his death at the age of 40.<ref name=Hill-2007-p492>{{harvp|Hill|2007|pp=492–494}}</ref>
