It featured extensive sculptural work by Sir Hamo Thornycroft, Harry Bates and others, consisting of several high-relief panels as well as stand-alone statues. In 1900, again with Joass, he designed Electra House, in the City.Belcher's major commissions outside London include Colchester Town Hall 1898-1902 and the Ashton Memorial, designed and built 1906-1909 in Lancaster. Both of these are in the Baroque style, typical of the lavish creations of the Edwardian era.Other works include: Birmingham Daily Post Building, Fleet St, London 1902; Guildown Grange, Guildford, Surrey 1902; Tapeley Park, Devon, reconstruction 1902; Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire, extension, 1902-3; Royal London Friendly Society, Finsbury Square, London, 1904-5; Royal Insurance, St. James's Street & Piccadilly, London, 1907-9; Holy Trinity, Kingsway, London 1910; Royal Society of Medicine, Henrietta Street, London, 1910; Headquarters of the Royal Zoological Society, Regent's Park, London, 1910; Tatmore Place, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, 1910.In 1907, Belcher won the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects and served as their president from 1904 to 1906.
