He took holy orders and in 1872 became Rural Dean and Rector of Wicken, Northamptonshire. He added a new wing at the Rectory at cost of £300 in 1873, not long after his arrival in the parish.

Concerned with the village school which, in 1875, he claimed that he found 'struggling into life and health', within three years he placed it on a sound footing and there were about 80 children on the books. He appealed for increased subscriptions and threatened a school board if these were not forthcoming.

He committed suicide at his Rectory in Wicken on 16 April 1890, an inquest jury returned a verdict of "suicide whilst temporarily insane".
