He was ordained deacon at Abergwili and served as a curate of Cathedine, Brecknock, from 1768 to 1770, being ordained a priest at Hereford while he was a curate at Cathedine. He served as parish priest of Llanfihangel Cilfargen, Llanfihangel Aberbythych and Llandyfeisant from 1770 to 1833, and later as Rector of Llanedi, from 1782 to 1786.
