 Although church work dominated the work of the practice there were also some secular commissions . There was no work on country houses during this period , nor were there any commissions for public buildings , other than an expansion of the Storey Institute ( 1906 – 08 ) . The last public building designed by the partnership was Hornby Village Institute ( 1914 ) . In the commercial field the firm designed workshops and a showroom for William Atkinson , which were among the earliest motor garages and showrooms in the provinces . The practice continued to carry out work for the Lancaster and Skerton Cooperative Society , designing numerous shops in the local area . The partners also carried out work on schools , in particular for Sedbergh School . They designed an extension to Leeds Grammar School ( 1904 – 05 ) , Llandovery College , North Wales ( 1901 – 03 ) , Shrewsbury School ( 1913 – 14 ) , and extra buildings for St Bees School , Rossall School , and the Clergy Daughters ' School at Casterton ( 1896 ) .
