  In 1886, in conjunction with Samuel Swinton Jacob, Hendley designed the Grade II-listed Jaipur Gate which stands outside Hove Museum and Art Gallery in Hove, East Sussex.  The exotic structure was carved from Indian teak in Shekhawati and transported to London for an exhibition.  It was moved to Hove in 1926.
