From 1842 to 1848 Conybeare was principal of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution (later Liverpool College).[1] There, he worked with John Saul Howson, with whom he would later publish Perversion: or, the Causes and Consequences of Infidelity. Whilst in Liverpool, he campaigned for the improvement of middle-class education in the city.[2]
With his health deteriorating, Conybeare resigned his position at Liverpool in 1848 and moved to Axminster, Devon, to become vicar.[1][2] He served there until 1854, when he moved to Weybridge, Surrey, where his brother-in-law, Edward Rose, was the parish priest. He died of tuberculosis in Weybridge in 1857, and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.[2][4] He was survived by his wife, Eliza Rose (1820-1903), and his son, John William Edward Conybeare.[2]
