In 1955, he was appointed Bishop suffragan of Taunton^[5] and took up his See with his consecration as a bishop on 6 January 1956, by Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral.^[6] In May 1956, he was appointed Rector of Dinder and a Prebendary of Wells Cathedral (remaining Bishop of Taunton).^[7] Translated to Hereford in 1961,^[8] he retired in 1973 but continued to serve the church as an honorary assistant bishop within the Diocese of London until his death on 23 January 1985,^[9] aged 77.
