 They were forced to eke out their means by all kinds of artistic drudgery.By sketching in accessories to architectural and sculptural designs they became acquainted with Francis Goodwin, the architect, who advised them to paint pictures suitable for altar-pieces in churches.They subsequently produced "The Pool of Bethesda" for the Bordesley Chapel at Birmingham; "Christ blessing little Children" for St. Leonard's Church, Bilston; "Christ confounding the Rulers of the Synagogue", exhibited at the Royal Academy, and much admired, but mysteriously lost on its way to Manchester, for which town it was destined; "Nathan reproving David" for Macclesfield town hall, and "The Entombment of Christ", presented by Mr. Edward Moxhay to the French Protestant church, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
