After holding several curacies he became Rector of Blaisdon in 1877, and of Ashleworth in 1890. His Songs of a Parish Priest were published in 1888. His hymns in common use include:—

Gliding through the shadows. [Processional.] Written at Trowbridge for Minor Chords, pub. 1875.

Included in Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1904.
