Among their buildings are the Presbyterian church of Wales, Princes Avenue, Liverpool (1865), the Synagogue, Princes Road, Liverpool (1875) -- one of their finest buildings -- the YMCA, Mount Pleasant, Liverpool (1875-7) and the Church of Edward the Confessor, Philadelphia (see J. Quentin Hughes, Liverpool, London, 1969). The Audsleys were among the best known nineteenth-century "ornamentists" and helped to lead (with Owen Jones and Christopher Dresser), the revival in English decorative design that had begun after the Great Exhibition of 1851. They published a number of books on ornament and architecture including The Sermon on the Mount (London, 1861) -- one of the finest of contemporary "illuminated" books -- A Handbook of Christian Symbolism (London, 1865), Cottage, Lodge and Villa Architecture (Glasgow, 1868), Outlines of Ornament (London, 1881) and Polychromatic Decoration (London, 1882). George Audsley collaborated with Maurice Ashdown Audsley in The Practical Decorator and Ornamentist (Glasgow, 1892) -- one of the last major British chromolithographic books." - See Victorian Web.…
