He was ordained priest in 1900, and his first appointment was as assistant priest., at Woolwich. From Woolwich he moved to a rectorship at Dartford, where he remained for ten years.

He was made a Honorary Canon of Southwark in 1933.

Requiem Mass was sung in St. George's Cathedral corant archiepiscopo by Mgr. W. Brown, Bishop of Pella. Archbishop Amigo gave the Absolutions and at the interment at Brockley in the Knill Chantry the Bishop of Brentwood was represented by Mgr. O'Grady. Mgr. Howlett, Mgr. Evans and Mgr, Hall were present.
The chairman of the L.C.C. and several members of the Education Committee also paid their last respects to their priest colleague by being present at the burial.
