He designed churches at Belper (1824), Minster, Bishop Ryders (all in Derbyshire), and at Kimberworth, Yorkshire.
[1] In 1842 he visited Jerusalem on behalf of the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews,[1] following the dismissal of the architect James Wood Johns, whose project to build an Anglican Cathedral in the city had met with obstruction from the Ottoman authorities.
Habershon's final designs for the site took the more diplomatically acceptable form of a chapel attached to a consulate.
His building, standing on the foundations laid down by Johns, was completed in 1849, and became known as Christ Church, Jerusalem.
[2][3] On his way home from Jerusalem in 1843, Habershon had an interview with King Frederick William IV of Prussia, who was associated with England in the establishment of the bishopric of Jerusalem, and in the following year the king conferred on him the great gold medal for science and literature, to mark his appreciation of Habershon's work on The Ancient half-timbered Houses of England (1836).
