He was born in Bradford, UK, the son of Thomas Hinchcliffe and Mary H. Gibbons, and came to Canada in 1890. He was educated at St. John's College in Winnipeg.[1] Hinchcliffe was named the first rector of St. Luke's Anglican Church in Red Deer, Alberta in 1899. He was also an architect, master stonemason and carpenter; he drew up plans for the church and supervised most of the construction.[2] Hinchcliffe was married twice: first to Mary A. Mason in 1890 and then to Jessie H. Tilston in 1916. He served as a chaplain in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.[1] Hinchcliffe was Minister of Education (1928 to 1933)[3] and later Minister of Lands (1933)[4] in the provincial cabinet. He was an unsuccessful candidate in the North Vancouver riding in the 1941 provincial election. He died in 1954.[5]
