Born on 27 November 1892[6] he was educated at Repton and St John's College, Cambridge. After World War I service with the North Staffordshire Regiment he was ordained in 1920 and began his career with a curacy at St Mary’s, Hornsey Rise.[7] Following this he was Chaplain and Lecturer at Ridley Hall, Cambridge before a long period of service in Africa. From 1925 he was Chaplain and Librarian of Achimota College and then a CMS Missionary[8] in Uganda. After two years as an Assistant Bishop[9] he was elevated to the full Episcopate[10] in 1934. In 1952 he returned to England as Rector of St Andrew’s, Worcester[11] and four years later was appointed a Residentiary Canon of Worcester Cathedral. He died on 23 August 1982. His memoirs are stored within the National Archives[12]
