He trained in the offices of Norman Shaw where he met William Lethaby, who was to become his firm friend and a major influence on his work. He travelled with Sydney Barnsley to study Byzantine work and while Master of the Art Workers Guild was responsible for collaborating with artist-craftworkers such as Ernest Gimson, on major commissions such as that at Westminster Cathedral in 1910.
