Between 1829 and 1830 he was the master-mason responsible for additions to Lambeth Palace, where the total sum paid to him was £8,315. Part of this sum was for carving (5). His tablets to Lord Western and William Way are Gothic in style (2-4). Gunnis described them as large and very ugly. That to Adolphus Meetkerke is simpler (1).
