Son of John and Sarah Herford, Brooke received his early education in Manchester, at the school of John Relly Beard.

At age 18, he enrolled at Manchester New College (now at Oxford, but then at Manchester). At age 21, he began preaching at Todmorden, Yorkshire and, as his college would not support him, he withdrew from school to be a full time minister. After five years at Todmorden, his moved to the Upper Chapel, Sheffield, and nine years later, to Strangeways Free Church in Manchester. He spent 11 years there, also tutoring at the Home Missionary College.

He also served as Corresponding Secretary (1878-79) and president (1880-81) of the Chicago Literary Club; pastor of the Arlington Street Church, Boston, Massachusetts (1882-92); and on the faculty of Harvard University, before returning to England in 1893.
