elizabeth tower, previously called the clock tower but more popularly known as big ben, was raised as a part of charles barry's design for a new palace, after the old palace of westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 october 1834. the new parliament was built in a neo-gothic style. although barry was the chief architect of the palace, he turned to augustus pugin for the design of the clock tower, which resembles earlier pugin designs, including one for scarisbrick hall in lancashire. the design for the tower was pugin's last design before his final descent into madness and death, and pugin himself wrote, at the time of barry's last visit to him to collect the drawings: "i never worked so hard in my life for mr barry for tomorrow i render all the designs for finishing his bell tower & it is beautiful."
