Born in 1803 in Derry, Ireland, Boyd was the son of Archibald Boyd, treasurer of Derry.
After being educated at the diocesan college in that city, proceeded to Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated Bachelor of Arts 1823, proceeding to Master of Arts Master of Arts
1834, and Bachelor of Divinity and Doctor of Divinity long after, in 1868. He officiated as curate and preacher in the cathedral in Derry from 1827 to 1842, and here he first distinguished himself as an able and powerful preacher, as a controversialist, and as an author Boyd came to the defence of the church and preached a series of discourses in reply to attacks.
These discourses attracted great attention, and were afterwards printed.
In 1842, he was appointed perpetual curate of Christ Church Cheltenham. With Francis Close, his fellow-worker here, he joined in a scheme for establishing additional Sunday schools, infant schools, and bible classes.
Foreign eight years after 1859, he was entrusted with the care of Paddington. Dean of Exeter On 11 November 1867 he accepted the deanery of Exeter, and resigned, with his vicarage, an honorary canonry in Gloucester Cathedral, which he had held since 1857.
He was a preaching and a working dean
He was a firm but moderate evangelical, and was a voluminous writer on the ecclesiastical questions of the day. His name is connected with the—at the time well-known—Exeter reredos case. The dean and chapter erected in the cathedral, 1872-1873, a stone reredos, on which were sculptured representations in bas-relief of the Ascension, the Transfiguration, and the Descent of the Holy Ghost, with some figures of angels.
In accordance with a petition presented by William John Phillpotts, chancellor of the diocese, the bishop (Frederick Temple) on 7 January 1874 declared the reredos to be contrary to law and ordered its removal.
After much litigation touching the bishop"s jurisdiction in the matter, the structure was declared not illegal by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on 25 February 1875 On the continent during the autumn of 1882, Boyd met with an accident at Vienna, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. He died at the deanery, Exeter, on 11 July 1883, bequeathing nearly £40,000 to various societies and institutions in the diocese of Exeter.
She herself died on 6 January 1877.
