Born near Hull. Joint pastor of the Islington Union Chapel from 1843/4 with Thomas Lewis, taking sole charge on Lewis's death in 1852, until his own death. Friends with Gladstone and Asquith (who was a member of the congregation). He also oversaw the building of the current Union Chapel.

Seems to have worked closely with Rev. A. Raleigh - see there for chapels that they opened together.
