Austin and Paley was the title of a firm of architects working in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over the years a number of architects worked in this practice, either alone or in partnerships. Edward Paley died in 1895 leaving his previous partners, Hubert Austin and his son, Henry to continue the practice under the title of Austin and Paley. Most of the work carried out by the practice was in designing new churches or making additions to older churches. Being based in the northwest of England, most of the work done was in that area, particularly in what are now the counties of Lancashire and Cumbria, although some work was carried out elsewhere in the country. The list includes most of the major works of the partnership.
