An architect, lecturer, and member of the Independent Labour Party who was politically active in Poplar where Kathleen, his wife, was the first woman councillor. When war broke out it was his Christian beliefs that led him to refuse to take up arms. He was supported by the No Conscription Fellowship and the Fellowship of Reconciliation and refused non-combatant service. He was arrested and imprisoned, first in Wormwood Scrubs and later in Wandsworth Gaol, from January 1917 to April 1919.
