Works His work included: An east window for the chapel of Jesus College, Oxford (1853) This shows various biblical episodes, including three instances of Christ raising people from the dead: Jairus' daughter, the son of the widow of Nain and Lazarus. There are also pairs of scenes from the New Testament and the Old Testament to demonstrate the typological relationship between them: for example, the Passover is paired with the Last Supper, Jonah escaping from the whale with the Resurrection of Jesus, and the ascension of Elijah with the ascension of Jesus. Nikolaus Pevsner described it as "a busy, somewhat gloomy piece with many small scenes". The west window of Norwich Cathedral (1853), Halifax Parish Church (1855) A window at Ely Cathedral
