After a period of study at what was then Cuddesdon College (and is now known as Ripon College Cuddesdon), he was made deacon on Trinity Sunday 1960 (12 June)[3] and ordained priest the following Trinity Sunday (28 May 1961) — both times by Stretton Reeve, Bishop of Lichfield, at Lichfield Cathedral.[4] He embarked on an ecclesiastical career with a curacy in Stafford, after which he was Assistant General Secretary of the Church of England Council on Foreign Relations, while concurrently holding the post of Curate at St Dunstan-in-the-West, and then Vicar of St Pauls, Wednesbury.[5] Following this he was Vicar of Tettenhall Regis from 1971-1979 which was his final appointment before his elevation to the Episcopate. During his time as Vicar of Tettenhall, he served as Rural Dean of Trysull from 1976–1979.[6] He was consecrated a bishop on 25 January 1979, by Donald Coggan, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Westminster Abbey.[7] In retirement he continues to serve the Church as an Assistant Bishop within the Diocese of Lincoln. His brother-in-law was also a bishop.[8]
