Ordained after a period of study at Ripon College Cuddesdon in 1924, he began his career with a curacy at St George's Ramsgate. After this he was a chaplain in the Royal Air Force^[4] flying on active service in his fifties^[5] then Provost of St. Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow.^[6] In 1938 he became Archdeacon of Lincoln^[7] before his ordination to the episcopate.
