In 1907 he moved to Ditchling with the Gill family. Cribb was a skilled letter cutter and carver and Gill used him to work on many of his major commissions, such as the lettering on Oscar Wilde’s tomb. Cribb’s apprenticeship ended in 1915 when called away for war service. He worked with MacDonald Gill on the design of the standard war grave and became a founder member of the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, an association of Catholic artists and craftworkers. He too over Eric Gill's workshop on Ditchling Common after Gill left for Capel in 1924, establishing his own practice.
