His works graced various significant structures during the International Exhibition of 1862, including the angels from the Hereford Screen, the capital and portion of its shaft, and the intricate grille detail. Scott's influence extended beyond exhibitions, as he designed the new tower of St. Mary Magdelene's Church in Taunton and oversaw the restoration of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Northampton. His designs also included the proposed town hall for the Preston Guild Festival and the monumental brass to the late Mr. Robert Stephenson in Westminster Abbey.
