Church Buildings
Oatley's keen Christian faith is reflected in the large amount of work he did for local churches. He designed the mission hall of St Anne's in Greenbank (1900–01), Bristol Baptist College (1913–1915), St Edyth's in Sea Mills (1926–28). Other projects included work on St. Mary Redcliffe church and the New Room, John Wesley's original Methodist chapel. Oatley was also involved in raising financial support for various Christian causes.
