About the author
Educated at Christ Church, Oxford, he took his B.A. in 1833 and his M.A. in 1836 before entering the Church of England. Records connected with Oxford and later archival summaries describe him as a clergyman and religious writer, and his published work shows a strong interest in doctrine, liturgy, and church order.
He served as vicar of Market Lavington in Wiltshire and was later rector of Southam in Warwickshire; later references also place him at South Heighton and Tarring Neville near Newhaven. His career seems to have combined steady parish work with a lively engagement in public religious debate.
Among his surviving books are Eight Sermons on the Priesthood, Altar, and Sacrifice, Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister, and A Second Letter to the Rev. William Maskell, M.A. These titles suggest the kind of questions that mattered deeply in Victorian church life, and they make him an interesting figure for listeners drawn to the history of Anglican thought.
