He was educated at Eton College and followed his older brother, Horace, into the Grenadier Guards in 1872. He retired in 1909.

He served as High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1894 and 1913.He was a great philanthropist and set up a reading in room in the village of Cookham in 1911, by purchasing the old Wesleyan Chapel, when a new larger one was built. He named it the King's Hall after George V. On his death in 1924, he left a legacy of £814 2s 0d to pay for the maintenance of the Hall. In 1963, the hall was taken over by the Stanley Spencer Gallery.
