Crowther studied under Richard Tattersall from 1838–1843.[1][2] He worked as a managing clerk for Henry Bowman until 1846, when Bowman took him into partnership, the firm being known as Bowman and Crowther.[2]
Crowther then went into independent practice, designing churches in Gothic Revival style,[3] and villas in a variety of styles.[4] He was appointed as the diocesan architect for Manchester Cathedral,[1] and was working on the restoration of the cathedral at the time of his death,[3] which occurred in March 1893.[2]
Crowther replaced the Georgian body of the church with one in Gothic Revival style. He also probably designed the screen between the chapel and the chancel.[45][46]
When Crowther was asked to undertake repairs, it he found that there were no foundations under the body of the church. He replaced this in a similar design, leaving the Perpendicular tower unaltered.[47][48]
