He attended Falmouth Grammar School before going on to the London Hospital Medical College, where he received his M.B.
[2] He initially sat as an independent,[3] but later aligned himself with the Ministerialist (or Liberal) faction that came to be led by Hector Rason.

He eventually returned to England, practising at Falmouth (his birthplace) for a while and then retiring to Hertfordshire, where he died in 1931.
