Pusey House is an institution associated with the University of Oxford founded as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey, a leading figure of the Oxford Movement - a movement of the mid-19th century which sought to bring the Church of England to a deeper understanding of its witness as part of the Universal Catholic Church.
The House continues the work of E. B. Pusey in restoring the Church of England's Catholic life and witness.
