He lived most and perhaps all of his life at Brecon, where he kept a pharmacy. In 1850 he published A Tale of the Past and Other Poems, with a dedication to Eliza Cook. He was self-confessedly content with the lower slopes of that Parnassus whose peak he judged Eliza Cook to have scaled. He died 25 January 1866 and was buried in Llanspyddyd churchyard.
