He was born in Preston, Lancashire, and entered the English College, Douai. He was ordained a priest in 1645 four years after entering. He remained Master of the Novices until 1656, when he moved to Worcestershire. Here he became a Governor (Six Master) of the Royal Grammar School Worcester.

After being sent to London he was brought back to Worcester and executed for being a Catholic priest and exercising as such.
