He graduated BA in 1859 and in 1860 won the Ellerton Theological Prize.[1] He graduated MA in 1861, but kept his scholarship until 1864, when he was elected a fellow of his college. He held the fellowship until 1870, and from 1869 to 1871 was a tutor, chaplain, and lecturer in law and modern history, at the University of Bonn.[2]
Moberly returned to England in 1871 to take up the post of Rector of Duntisbourne Rouse, Gloucestershire, a benefice he held until 1880. He then spent five years as Principal of Lichfield Theological College and as a prebendary of Lichfield Cathedral, and from 1878 was also Master of St Nicholas Hospital, Salisbury.
