Este sacerdote y escritor católico inglés estuvo profundamente influenciado por John Henry Newman. Tras su conversión al catolicismo y ordenación, dedicó su vida al estudio y la escritura. Su obra más importante, 'Roma Sotterranea', es un estudio autoritativo sobre las catacumbas, coescrito con el obispo William R. Brownlow. Sus extensas investigaciones académicas en antigüedades cristianas lo establecen como una figura destacada para aquellos interesados en la Iglesia primitiva.
