He was educated at Winchester[4] and Oriel College, Oxford[5] and ordained in 1905.[6] His career began with curacies at St Thomas, Portman Square and All Saints, Margaret Street. Following this he was Librarian of Pusey House, Oxford.[7] From 1924 to 1938 he was Bishop of Colombo.[8] He then returned to England to be Principal of St Boniface Missionary College, Warminster and then Chaplain of Salisbury Diocesan Training College.[1]

In 1940, he married Eveline Egerton-Warburton, daughter of Piers Egerton-Warburton and granddaughter of Rowland Egerton-Warburton.[9]
