He was born in 1903 in Bilbrook, Staffordshire. He was educated at Cambridge University where he studied engineering and then architecture at the Architectural Association in London. In 1933 he joined H. E. Lavender in Wolverhampton and formed Lavender and Twentyman.
Nikolaus Pevsner praised his work at Rubery and Redditch. St Chad's Church, Rubery is described as being a fine Modernist example, and his crematorium at Redditch as a model example for that class of building.
