In early life he held a curacy near Bulstrode, which introduced him to the notice of the Duke of Portland, then Premier, to whom he was indebted for his preferments. In 1802 he was presented to the rectory of Stanford Rivers, in the gift of the King as Duke of Lancaster; in 1807 to the rectory of Langham, also in Essex, and in the same patronage; and in Feb. 1808 to the fourth stall in Christ church cathedral, Oxford.
