His works include the Church of All Saints, Notting Hill (from 1852), and St Saviour's, Aberdeen Park, both in London (1865—with a polychrome brick interior), but his master-work is St Michael's, Lyndhurst, Hants. (1858–70), a big red- and yellow-brick structure in the First Pointed style, with odd tracery, strange cross-gables, and a sumptuous polychrome interior that contains work by Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833–98), Morris, Lord Leighton (1830–96), and Street.
