 During the Paley and Austin partnership , the architectural styles used by the practice changed and developed . In church architecture , Paley had already started to introduce Perpendicular features in some of his designs , and this trend was to continue and increase after the arrival of Austin . Throughout their partnership , the designs for churches were mainly in Gothic Revival style . After the arrival of Austin , there was much greater use of Perpendicular features . Brandwood et al. see the practice as national pioneers in this trend , saying " the firm can be seen as a true pioneer in the rehabilitation of Perpendicular architecture after its ecclesiological exile for a quarter of a century " . Early examples of what the authors consider to be part of what they call " the Perpendicular revival in the North " are the rebuilding of the bodies of St Mary , Leigh , ( 1871 – 73 ) and All Saints , <unk> ( 1870 – 72 ) . The Perpendicular " would become the stock @-@ in @-@ trade style for some of the most admired buildings as the years rolled on " . However they did continue to use features from the Early English and Decorated styles , sometimes together in the same church , as in New St Leonard , <unk> . Away from the Gothic Revival style , Norman or Norman transitional features were occasionally used , as in St Mary , Betws @-@ y @-@ Coed ( 1872 – 73 ) , and St Peter , <unk> ( 1873 – 74 ) .
