He went on as of 1899 to St. John's College Cambridge to become Reverend.
He recieved his B.A. in 1903, his M.A. in 1907.
He was ordained as deacon in 1905.
In 1905 he became Canon of Onslow Square, London, until 1910. He is listed as subscriber to The Eagle (the annual review of St. John's College), for 1904 with address Ridley Hall, Cambridge, for 1905-10 with address Norfolk Square, Great Yarmouth. From 1910 on he was vicar in Wellington Salop, just 50 km from Birmingham.
