He was then successively a curate in Wigan, Vicar of Aspull, Sub Dean of Street Albans Cathedral (and Rural Dean of Dunstable) before his ordination to the episcopate as the fourth Bishop of Pontefract with the additional title of Archdeacon of Pontefract. In 1961, in controversial circumstances not of his own making, he became Dean of Guildford, a position he held for seven years. In retirement he continued to serve as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Lincoln until his death.
