He received his professional training at Salop Infirmary, Shrewsbury, and after three years became a student of medicine at University College, London. After qualifying he returned in 1844 to Leighton Buzzard, where for forty-four years he was an assiduous practitioner, and for many years Physician to the Infirmary.

He was also a Certifying Factory Surgeon, and for some years visiting Justice to the Asylums in Bedfordshire, a member of the School Board and the Urban Council, Trustee of many charities, and Vicar's Churchwarden. For years, too, he held a Bible class for youths who, from age, had discontinued attendance at school. He was a great benefactor to the parish church, restored its porches, gave clerestory windows to the nave, and had presented to the parish a house in Beaudesert as a residence for one of the curates.<br /><br />He was interested during the last twenty years of his life in the archaeology of Leighton, and was elected FSA. In 1866 he was President of the South Midland Branch of the British Medical Association. At the time of his death, in addition to holding other posts, he was Hon Local Secretary to the Royal Medical Benevolent College and to the British Medical Benevolent Fund.<br /><br />Lawford was kind, courteous, and, in character estimable, won many friends, and was a prominent citizen of Leighton. His last illness, long and full of suffering, was borne with great fortitude. He died at his residence, Oriel House, Leighton, on Oct 2nd, 1899, and was buried in the family vault in the churchyard of All Saints' Church.
