He was educated at Winchester College, in whose cricket XI he played in 1869 as well as at football, and at New College, Oxford, where he graduated as BA in 1874. He began as a barrister by profession, being called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1877, before becoming HM Inspector of Schools in 1880, moving up to the Education Office in 1890. He died at Church Stretton, Shropshire.[3]
