Webster's family had been masons and marble polishers. He arrived in the town in about 1787 and by the end of the century he was designing houses. During the early 19th century, he designed a new Meeting House for the town's Quakers, and was also involved with the promotion and building of the Lancaster Canal which reached Kendal in 1819.
