Career
Croft designed South Park in East Sussex, later known as Wadhurst College, which with its stable block are both grade II listed with Historic England. He designed Carlyle House, Chelsea Embankment, London which The Building News and Engineering Journal described as "rather too broken up to be deemed a pleasing example of the style it reproduces". In 1888 he built three mansions at 127 and 128 Piccadilly, London. He died at South Park on 22 March 1893.
