Career
After studying at Cowbridge Grammar School, Bassett went to Jesus College, Oxford, matriculating in 1797, but never graduating. He was ordained deacon in 1801 and priest in 1802, becoming curate of Street Athan and Llandow in Glamorgan. In 1832, he became rector of Eglwys Brewis and, in 1843, vicar of Colwinston.
He was probably the last Anglican clergyman in Wales to be associated in such a way with the Methodists.
