He then became Vicar of St. Peter's Church, Farndon in Nottinghamshire in 1864 and remained the incumbent there until his death in 1894.

A contractor's account dated 1866 refers to the addition of a "becoming altar with fittings, an organ and stalls" at a cost of £300.
[3] The work he did was commemorated in the book Brough Maltby, Archdeacon, Church Restorer by Rev.
