 In 1886 Edward Paley 's son , Henry ( who was and is usually known as Harry ) , became a partner in the practice , which continued to work much as before , with ecclesiastical and secular commissions . New churches were built in villages and towns , and older churches were restored or altered . The first new country church resulting from the partnership was the Church of the Good Shepherd , Tatham ( 1888 – 89 ) . Brandwood et al. describe the 1890s as " something of a golden decade for the firm 's country churches " . The first of these was St Bartholomew , Barbon ( 1892 – 93 ) , mainly Perpendicular in style , but with some rounded arches , followed by St Peter , Field Broughton ( 1892 – 94 ) , also in Perpendicular style . Smaller churches were St Mary , Borwick ( 1894 – 96 ) ( Perpendicular again ) , and a mission church seating 150 at Sunderland Point ( 1894 ) . The 1890s was also a prolific period for new town churches but , before the start of that decade , the firm had designed St Mary , Ince @-@ in @-@ Makerfield ( 1887 , demolished 1974 ) , St John , Birkdale ( 1899 – 90 ) , and St John , Cloughfold , in Rawtenstall ( 1899 – 90 , now redundant ) . Major town churches of the first half of the 1890s include St John , Crawshawbooth ( 1890 – 92 ) , and Christ Church , Waterloo ( near Liverpool ) ( 1891 – 99 ) . During this time the partnership produced their only church in the south of England , All Saints , Hertford ( 1893 – 95 ) . Brandwood et al. say that it is a " Perpendicular building entirely characteristic of the firm " but , being built in Runcorn sandstone from Cheshire , Pevsner considered that it was " completely alien in Herts " . This period also saw the finest church design to be executed by the practice , St George , Heaviley in Stockport ( 1892 – 97 ) , which is considered to be the solely the work of Austin . Brandwood et al. describe it as " the largest , grandest and most expensive church the practice ever built and is the masterwork of Hubert Austin " . Hartwell et al. say it is " a church on a splendid scale " . Another ecclesiastical project was the chapel at the Royal Albert Asylum ( 1886 – 80 ) .
