Footnote
Note: Marsh, Jones and Cribb enjoyed great success and gained particular renown during the 1860s and 1870s, coinciding with a period when the company employed some of the foremost gothic revival designers of the time. Perhaps most notable among these important creative figures were Charles Bevan and Bruce Talbert, who both championed their own highly distinctive reformed gothic style.
