Born on 19 December 1915, he was educated at the Sheffield Pupil Teacher Centre; and served in the Royal Army Service Corps during World War II.[2] When peace returned he studied at St Aidan’s Theological College and was ordained in 1947. After a curacy at Madron with Morvah[3] he held incumbencies at Perranuthnoe, Budock, St Michael Caerhays, Redruth and St Clement before his Archdeacon’s appointment.[4]

He died on 23 December 1983.[5]
