He was born on 18 September 1876 and educated at Merchant Taylors' and Lincoln College, Oxford.[1] Ordained in 1897[2] he was initially a Curate at All Saint’s Margaret Street[3] and then a missionary priest in South Africa.
After a spell as Vicar of St Barnabas', Dover, he then began a long period of service overseas: first as Dean of the Falkland Islands; then a similar post in Newcastle, New South Wales following which he was ordained to the episcopate as Bishop of Kalgoorlie.
Translated to Bishop of Mauritius in 1919, he returned to England eleven years after to become an Assistant Bishop within the Diocese of Guildford[4] and continued to serve the Church as Archdeacon of Dorking then Surrey until his death on 9 April 1955.[5]
