Adams was born at Bath, Somerset, and educated at Westminster School. He later studied at Christ's College, Cambridge,[1] where he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the university cricket club against Cambridge Town Club at Parker's Piece in 1859.[2] He batted once during Cambridge University's first-innings, scoring a single run before he was dismissed by Frederick Reynolds. He took the wickets of Charles Pryor and Joseph Masterson in the Cambridge Town Club first-innings, however due to an incomplete match scorecard his exact bowling figures are unknown. [3]

Adams became an Anglican priest and was vicar of Framfield 1866–76, then rector of Shere 1876–93.[1] He died at Cockington, Devon on 11 April 1897.
