Collcutt](/source/Thomas_Edward_Collcutt) for 18&nbsp;months to broaden his experience.  He returned to his father's practice in 1882 and became a partner in 1886, the firm then being known as [Paley, Austin and Paley](/source/Paley%2C_Austin_and_Paley).{{sfn|Brandwood|Austin|Hughes|Price|2012|p=135}}  Up to the death of Hubert Austin in 1915, he was involved in the design of 75 new churches and also in restorations and additions to other churches.  After that he mainly worked alone, or with associates rather than partners, designing some more churches, and also hospitals, schools and houses.<ref name=lancs>{{citation |url=http://www.lancashirepioneers.com/austinpaley/hapaley.asp |title=Lancashire Pioneers - Paley and Austin |access-date=2008-04-27 |publisher=[Lancashire County Council](/source/Lancashire_County_Council) }}</ref>
