He trained as a surveyor and architect in Nottingham[1] and much of his output was dwelling houses, warehouses and hotels.[2] He was employed by Sydney Pierrepont, 3rd Earl Manvers in the 1890s to erect estate buildings in Thoresby Park.

In 1899 he was appointed a director of the Aspley Engineering Company.[3]

In 1903 his office was at 13 Victoria Street in Nottingham.

He died on 8 October 1915 at St Andrew's Hospital in Northampton and left an estate valued at £5,646 4s 7d (equivalent to £455,800 in 2019).[4]

gollark: In certain time zones, yes.
gollark: It isn't done because unlike your '""proofs""" I never actually end up with clear success criteria.
gollark: Well, I have Skynet3 "working" so far. It even has Prometheus for graphs.
gollark: Even more !!FUN!!ly, it works fine at 10 and breaks at 16. Further testing is ongoing.
gollark: Apparently the new skynet3™ code works perfectly until ??? happens if I try and connect a bunch of websockets to it at the same time, at which point it irrecoverably deadlocks or something.
