Private life

He was also Chairman of the Hoylake Chamber Concert Society and sang in the Liverpool Philharmonic Choir.[1] He had some success as a composer; his Mass was broadcast about 07 Apr 1938, but a later Mass in B flat was rejected by the BBC. None of his compositions appear to have been published. As well as being an expert on chamber music, he was an authority on medieval monasteries.[2]
