He was the son of Stephen and Louise and was born at Walthamstow and educated at Brecon and Cambridge. During the Great War he was a naval chaplain. He died on 25th December 1964. He had three sons - Paul Rex (who served in the forces in Persia and Iraq during the war), Peter Christopher (served in the West African forces and married Monica Still in the Abbey) and Ronald Cecil (who served in the RAF and married Anne Thorne in the Abbey) and two daughters Beryl (who married Richard Britten) and Dorothea. Dorothea was private secretary to Dean Eric Abbott and in retirement was a resident of the Abbey's almshouses. Her ashes are buried in St Faith's chapel (as the Islip vault could not be opened at the time she died) and a small stone there reads:
