Born into an ecclesiastical family,[3] he was educated at Marlborough College and Keble College, Oxford. After graduating, he studied for ordination at Ripon College Cuddesdon before curacies at Watlington, Oxfordshire and Downton, Wiltshire. After a further four years as senior curate at Newcastle Cathedral he went to Korea to be part of the USPG missionary team.[4] For the next 14 years he was a devoted servant to the emergent Korean church.[5] A noted cricketer,[6] he died "whilst still at the height of his powers"[7] from blood poisoning.
