In 1874, in connection with some improvements to the Protestant Bishop Gobat School on Mount Zion, Maudsley explored the area and laid bare a large segment of rock scarp that had formed the base of Josephus's First Wall.

  While members of the LJS were initially supportive of Gobat, even attempting to convince him to become vice-patron of their society, the changed he sought in the mission efforts inspired conflict.
  The fact that Gobat deemphasized the missionary efforts toward Jews alienated the members of LJS and his mission work among the Orthodox meant that he angered the Orthodox Patriarch as Alexander had angered the Jerusalem Rabbis.
            Although Gobat was the titular head of the LJS he was never much interested in their work, focusing instead on the efforts of CMS.
