Born in Brockside-in the Fylde in 1832, Canon Holden was trained at Ushaw College, Durham, and the English College in Rome. Ordained to the Priesthood in 1861, he served first at St. Nicholas, the Pro-Cathedral, and then at Our Lady's, Eldon Street.
After recovering from typhus fever, he was sent, after the death of Canon Thomas Bennett, to St. Oswald's where he served faithfully despite poor health and worsening eye sight. By 1900, his sight failed completely and for the next fourteen years, he struggled to use his gifts in blindness.
Passing away after a severe fall on March 9, 1914, he is found buried in the vault outside the presbytery.
