After World War I service became almost a founder-member of the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic and for many years was in charge of the stonemason’s shop. Cribb did a lot of work for the Brighton architectural practice of John Denman and worked on the tabernacle of the London church of St Simon Stock. Cheltenham and Hove Museums and Art Galleries hold his work.
