Born in 1833,[1] he was educated at Exeter College, Oxford[2] and ordained in 1857.[3] After a curacy in Wilton he was rector of Wishford Magna from 1863. Appointed a chaplain to George Moberly, Bishop of Salisbury,[4] in 1870, the following year he became vicar of Potterne.

He died on 28 June 1924.[7][8]
