Horace Price was born in Malvern into an ecclesiastical family on 3 August 1863: his father was W.

In 1905 he became Bishop in Fukien,[4] serving until 1918. He was consecrated on Candlemas 1906 (2 February) at Westminster Abbey, by Randall Davison, Archbishop of Canterbury.[5] Returning to the UK he was Assistant Bishop of Ely and Archdeacon of Ely (1919 onwards), Vicar of Pampisford (1919–1921) and Canon Residentiary of Ely Cathedral (1921 onwards)[6] until his death on 21 November 1941.[7] He had become a Doctor of Divinity (DD).
