He was consecrated a bishop on the Feast of the Holy Innocents 1911 (28 December), at St Paul's Cathedral, by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury.[3] He served as Bishop of Kensington — the suffragan bishop to the Bishop of London with delegated responsibility for "West London" — until he died in post on 21 March 1932.[4]
