In 1932 he was appointed Surveyor to Norwich Cathedral and on his retirement in 1963 he became archaeological adviser to the Dean and Chapter. An antiquary and, though he published comparatively little, authority on medieval architecture, he inherited the interests and many of the papers of his grandfather W.T.
