Career
Sent by Bishop John Milner to study for the priesthood at the English College, Rome, he there devoted himself to theology, and especially patrology, often working sixteen hours a day. At the end of his course he was recalled to Oscott, where he was ordained, and where he taught theology from 1830 to 1833. He then went to assist Review
J. Yver at Newark, where he spent over forty years as a missionary priest, still continuing his studies of the Fathers.
Within a year or two he was placed in sole charge of the mission. He was made canon of Nottingham in 1852, doctor of divinity in 1860, and provost of that diocese in 1861.
He died in Old Hall, Newark-on-Trent on 28 March 1876.
