Born to poor parents, Cawood had little formal education as a child, but at age 18 he was engaged in the service of Rev. Mr. Cursham, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. After three years of study under Cursham’s direction, Cawood entered St. Edmund Hall at Oxford, in 1797. He graduated in 1801, took Holy Orders, and became successively Curate of Ribsford and Dowles, and Incumbent of St. Ann’s Chapel of Ease, Bewdley, Worcestershire. Nine of his 17 hymns were included in Cotterill’s Selection, 8th edition, 1819. Three others appeared in Lyra Britannica, 1867.
