     Nació en 1860 en Warmwell (Dorsetshire), donde su padre, el Reverendo. Edward Pickard-Cambridge, fue "rector". y era también el sobrino del gran aracnólogo Reverendo Octavius Pickard-Cambridge. Se educó en Sherborne School y en el Exeter College de Oxford. "Cura" de la Iglesia de San Cuthbert,  dejó la iglesia para convertirse en un artista profesional, especializado en el diseño científico, que trabaja para varios biólogos. Murió prematuramente en Wimbledon en 1905.

     Ocupa su tiempo libre en la labor de las ciencias naturales y trabajó durante algún tiempo en el Museo Británico.

 
     
 

     En 1894-1895, pasó varios meses al sur del Amazonas como naturalista en una expedición para el tendido de cables; se trajo una gran colección de arañas de América del Sur que ha sido objeto de algunos de sus trabajos, también contribuyó en la parte de la Arácnidos de la "Biología Central América", que había empezado su tío. Habiendo comenzado como aracnólogo en varios trabajos sobre arañas en Inglaterra, aseguró durante los últimos cinco años de su vida, la publicación de la fauna aracnológica de una veintena de condados en "The Victoria History of the Counties of England".
