The son of Arthur Constantine Phipps, he was born in August 1845 at Shepton Mallet. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford.[2] Phipps made two appearances in first-class cricket for Southgate in 1868 and 1869, with both matches coming against Oxford University in 1864 at Oxford.[3] He scored 44 runs in his two matches, with a high score of 30.[4] Despite studying law and being a student of Lincoln's Inn in 1868, Phipps never became a practising barrister.[2] Instead, he became a merchant in China, where he died at Shanghai in April 1902.[1]
