After a period of study at The College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, he was made a deacon at Michaelmas 1955 (2 October), by Robert Mortimer, Bishop of Exeter, at Exeter Cathedral,[3] ordained priest in 1956, and began his career with a curacy at Plymstock followed by a long period as Rector of Plympton St Maurice.[4] In 1978 he became the Archdeacon of Plymouth and four years later Bishop suffragan of Plymouth. He was consecrated a bishop on 2 February 1982, by Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Westminster Abbey.[5] On resigning from the episcopate he joined the Anglican Benedictine community at Elmore Abbey (now based in Salisbury).
