The harmonious proportions and local brickwork of the Court in general make it the finest example of this style of architecture in Cambridge.

He was a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI), Royal Society of British Artists (RBA), Royal West of England Academy (RWA) and Royal British Colonial Society of Artists (RBC), and exhibited regularly at many venues including the Royal Academy in London.
