List of ecclesiastical works by Austin and Paley (1895–1916)
Austin and Paley was the title of a practice of architects in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The practice had been founded in 1836 by Edmund Sharpe. The architects during the period covered by this list are Hubert Austin and Henry Paley. Henry Paley had joined the practice as a partner in 1886 when his father, E. G. Paley, was Austin's partner; the practice then became known as Paley, Austin and Paley. E. G. Paley died in 1895 and the practice continued under the title of Austin and Paley. Austin's son joined the practice as a partner in 1914.[1]
This list covers the ecclesiastical works executed by the practice during the partnership of Hubert Austin and Henry Paley between 1895 and 1914. These works include new churches, restorations and alterations of older churches, additions to churches, and church fittings and furniture. The practice designed about 28 new churches and restored or modified many more. Because of the location of the practice, most of their ecclesiastical work was in the areas that are now Cumbria, Lancashire, and Greater Manchester, but examples can also be found in
Cheshire, Merseyside, North Yorkshire, Staffordshire, County Durham, Nottinghamshire, and Hertfordshire.[2]
Replacement of original 1745 Chapel of Ease for Cartmel Priory. Present building in good repair, fairly original condition. Toilet in vestry added 2010. Spire shingles renewed at least twice, lastly in ~ 1998. Original Foster and Andrews organ still in use.
Restoration, including reflooring and reroofing the church, removing the plaster ceilings, rebuilding the north wall of the north aisle and the clerestory, installing heating apparatus, and adding a new pulpit, porches, and doors.[8][15][23][24]
In 1902 the southwest porch and the Hatch Memorial were added, followed in 1903–04 by a chapel on the north side. A restoration, including the nave roof and the chancel floor, was carried out in 1911–12.[14][81][82]
New church costing £8,264. In the 1980s cracks appeared in the chancel arch, and the building was declared unsafe. It was demolished in 1991, and has been replaced by the Thornbury Centre, which houses the new Church of St Margaret.[51][141][143][144]
New church, replacing a smaller mission church. It was itself replaced by a new church, St James The Great, Woodhall, on a site nearby in 1959.[62][160]
