In retirement he was an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of Winchester,[13] having settled in Alresford, Hampshire.[11] and served as a member of the Parole Board for England and Wales from 1987 to 1990.[5]
Later in retirement he moved to a retirement home at Blackwater, Isle of Wight[5] where he died in July 2013, aged 94.
