Son of Conservative politician Edward Hardcastle, Harcastle was educated at Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge[4] and ordained in 1887.[5] After a curacy at St George’s Ramsgate[6] he was Vicar of Weston, Bath. From 1901 to 1904 he was Rector[7] of St Martin's Church, Canterbury. During this time he married the Hon Alice Goschen, second daughter of the 1st Viscount Goschen.[8] He was subsequently Vicar of Maidstone.[9] In 1924 he was appointed Archdeacon of Canterbury, a post he held until 1939. He was a keen sportsman.[10]

His daughter, Monica Alice Hardcastle, was assistant advisor in religious education for the Diocese of Chichester from 1931 to 1948 and then Principal of St Christopher’s College, Blackheath until her retirement in 1963.[1]
