He was the organist at St Botolph's Church, Boston (1951–1957), Ripon Cathedral (1957–1966)[2] and Lincoln Cathedral (1966–1986).[2] At Ripon, he created the cathedral choir school.[1] His compositions included liturgical works, vocal compositions and instrumental works including a Concerto for Piano and Orchestra[1]
