Born in County Limerick in Ireland in 1814, he was educated at Merton College, Oxford, and ordained into the priesthood in 1838. His first posts were curacies at St Peter's Church, Bolton, St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, and Cranford, Northamptonshire after which he was appointed Vicar of Gretton. He then began a long association with Peterborough Cathedral, firstly as a Canon, then Chancellor, and finally Dean.
