He became business partner of John Seely (later Lord Mottistone), whom he met at Cambridge, and in 1922 they formed the firm of Seely & Paget, in which Paget concentrated more on clients than on design work.[1] The partners became successful designers of opulent houses in the 1920s and restored many damaged church buildings after World War II.
Paget was invested as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA). He was also a Commander, Royal Victorian Order (CVO).[2]
After Seely's death Paget succeeded him as Surveyor of the Fabric of St Paul's Cathedral in 1963 but completed little further architectural work.[3] He was master of the Art Workers Guild in 1971.[1]
In August 1971, aged 70, Paget married Verily Anderson in London, England, and retired with her and her children to Templewood in Frogshall, Northrepps, Norfolk, a building he had designed for his uncle Samuel Hoare, Viscount Templewood.
