He worked in Gibraltar, Bermuda, Simonstown in the Cape (where he designed many of the British Forces buildings) and finally in Natal' (Martin 1980:266). He was reputed, via a history of his life by his granddaughter, Mrs B Hodge, to have had a hand in the design of Addington Hospital in the 1870s.
