Purcell Miller Tritton now known as Purcell, is a limited liability partnership of architects, designers and historic building consultants. Founded in 1947, they work on notable public and private buildings in the United Kingdom and beyond, including the National Gallery, London,[1] Westminster Abbey, St George's Hall, Liverpool,[2] Norwich Castle, Kew Palace, Stowe House, Canterbury Cathedral,[1] Ely Cathedral,[1] St Paul's Cathedral,[3] Shaw House, Berkshire,[3] the Reform Club,[1] the former homes of Lewis Carroll[3] and Elizabeth Gaskell[4] and Robert Falcon Scott's Hut in the Antarctic.[5]

In 2002 the firm completed a restoration of the church of St Ethelburga's Bishopsgate, after it was badly damaged in the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing by the Provisional IRA.[6]
