Years, and attended Iford and Rodmill Churches for upwards of thirty years as the leader of the choir. He was a great favourite with many, and enjoyed the friendship of the late H. Hurly, esq. and his father, for upwards of half a century. During this professional career he accumulated considerable property, but a large portion of this was subsequently lost by the failure of his professed friends, who induced him to become security in various unprofitable speculations, whereby he not only lost the amounts for which he became answerable, but was heavily involved in expensive suits of law. Living as he did in warlike times, he, like many of his townsmen, became a volunteer in one of the local corps, to which he was master of the band, and in all the concerts of the town his talents were brought into requisition. For the private theatricals known as "The Pic Nic," he composed several songs, including "The Irish Recruit," which is appreciated to the present day. He was the oldest member of the South Saxon Freemasons' Lodge, at which he officiated as organist.
