Garrard was educated at Northampton Grammar School and King's College London.[3] Ordained in 1962, he began his career with a curacy in Woolwich[4] and was then successively a chaplain at Keswick Hall College of Education, principal of the Church Army Training College, canon chancellor at Southwark Cathedral,[5] educational advisor to the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich and finally (before his elevation to the episcopate) Archdeacon of Sudbury.[6] From 2001 to 2003 he was the Archbishop of Canterbury's representative to the Holy See and director of the Anglican Centre in Rome. A renowned author,[7] in retirement he continues to minister as an assistant bishop within the Diocese of Norwich.
