He was educated at Tonbridge School and Hertford College, Oxford and ordained in 1841. He was Rector of Thornton Watlass from 1842 to 1853 when he became Archdeacon of Middlesex (Jamaica), a post he held until his 1856 consecration to the episcopate as coadjutor bishop (called Bishop of Kingston) of Jamaica. He automatically succeeded as diocesan Bishop of Jamaica upon Aubrey Spencer's death, 24 February 1872.
