It was at college he met his wife, Mary Woodman, a geography teacher at the school, and they married in 1939. From Shropshire he moved to Tynemouth and then, in 1938, to Barton-on-Humber in Lincolnshire, his home for the rest of his life.

He wrote a large number of historical novels, many for children, set in the Viking and Roman Britain.
During the war he served as an intelligence officer with the Royal Air Force. He returned to the post of Senior English Master at the Grammar school, Barton-on Humber, and remained there until December 1959. Coronary thrombosis led to his decision to give up teaching and concentrate on his writing.
