He designed a cottage for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition at Letchworth, Herts. (1905), and from 1906 (when he was in partnership with the Beaux-Arts architect Fernand Billerey (1878–1951)) worked on numerous town-and country-houses, notably on the Duke of Westminster's estates. He designed Wilsford Manor, Salisbury, Wilts. (1904–6—his best house in the Arts-and-Crafts style), and Happisburgh Manor, Cromer, Norfolk (1900—a flint-and-brick house on a butterfly plan with thatched roof), as well as carrying out sensitive repairs and alterations to numerous churches. He was one of the most gifted architects of his generation.
