Martyn & Co. and then studied at Lambeth School of Art.[1] He returned to Martyns before 1901, and became their head of sculpture and art director in 1905.[1] While working on the Queen Victoria Memorial, Calcutta he spent a considerable amount of time in the marble quarries in Carrara. He exhibited widely and was made a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in 1911.[1]
