William was born in Norwich, and educated at Norwich School and Clare College, Cambridge. He held livings at Alburgh, Edgefield and Bolton Percy. At a time when plurality (holding multiple church jobs) was common, he was also a prebendary of York from 1744; and Precentor of Salisbury from 1754.

He was buried in Bolton Percy, Yorkshire, England, where he had been Rector since 1747, on 25 May 1774.
