He was educated at Bristol Grammar School and served in the RNVR from 1917 to 1919.

He was made a deacon in 1924 and ordained priest at Michaelmas 1925 (4 October), by Hensley Henson, Bishop of Durham, at St Andrew's Bishop Auckland.[3] After a curacy at St Gabriel, Sunderland he was Chaplain of the school ship, HMS Conway.[4] He was Vicar of Bishopston, Bristol from 1930 to 1947 and Assistant Bishop on the Niger from 1947[5] to 1957: he was consecrated a bishop on 25 April 1947, by Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Westminster Abbey.[6] He returned to Britain as Vicar of Thornton Heath from 1957[7] to 1961[8] and an Assistant Bishop of Canterbury from 1960[9] to 1961; and Rector of Tormarton from 1961[10] to 1966 (where his brother E.M.
