Tento anglický katolícky kňaz a spisovateľ bol hlboko ovplyvnený Johnom Henrym Newmanom. Po konverzii na katolicizmus a kňazskej vysviacke zasvätil svoj život štúdiu a písaniu. Jeho najvýznamnejšie dielo, „Roma Sotterranea“, je autoritatívnym pojednaním o katakombách, ktoré vzniklo v spolupráci s biskupom Williamom R. Brownlowom. Jeho rozsiahly akademický výskum v oblasti kresťanských starožitností z neho robí dôležitú postavu pre záujemcov o ranú cirkev.
