He was Warden of Keble College, Oxford (1939–1955) and then 37th Bishop of Oxford (1955–1970). His first post was a curacy in Leatherhead. Their son was the eminent biographer, writer, and radio broadcaster, Humphrey Carpenter.
From 1962 to 1970, Carpenter he lived in the village of Cuddesdon, where there had historically been a bishop"s palace, but his successors found this impractical and in 1978 the bishops reverted to living within the city.
