of Telford in 1846; Upton described them as "quite undistinguished". Eight songs were published in 1857, followed by many individual songs in the following years. He composed at least 140 songs during his long life, as well as a handful of duets, choral works, part-songs, and instrumental works. He also composed hymns for church services, many of which were included in the hymnal for King's Chapel

wrote that his songs are "not strikingly original, but graceful and facile, much to be preferred to the popular sweetish, sentimental type".
