Notable successes included Fairfax House, Castlegate, York, by John Carr (1975–80), and the Long Gallery, Burton Agnes, Yorks. (1975). He carried out important works at York and Howden Minsters, Belton House, Lincs., and Heath Hall, Wakefield, during his long career, and built new houses, including several in Yorks., and Strathconan, Muir of Ord, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland (1980s).
