Ordained by Archbishop Longley, Carpenter cultivated royalty, becoming chaplain to Queen Victoria and Clerk to the Closet of Edward VII and George V. He served as Bishop of Ripon from 1884 -1911. Among other things, he ran his own Clergy School where he gave tuition in preaching; among his pupils was Studdert Kennedy. Carpenter advocated a national system for old age pensions long before it became practical politics, and founded the Victoria Fund to provide pensions for the clergy.
