The Rev. Edward Monro was educated at Harrow and entered Oriel College, Oxford, in 1833, where he graduated B.A., Third Class, on 9 Jun 1836, and M.A. on 14 Jun 1839.
He entered into Holy Orders and was ordained in 1837 and 1839. He was appointed to the Perpetual Curacy of Harrow-Weald, Middlesex, in 1842, and remained there until 1860. In that year, he was promoted to the vicarage of St. John's, Leeds, where he continued until his death in 1866.

Edward was celebrated for his extempore preaching, lecturing, and mission work among the masses, and he possessed a peculiar power in influencing the poor and the young. His memory was most affectionately cherished by his parishioners, both at Harrow-Weald and at Leeds, as well as by many of the leading minds in England. John Keble's essay on his "Parochial Work," fully establishes his remarkable powers and attainments.
His zeal and work among his people were commemorated by a stained glass window placed in the church at Harrow-Weald.
