He attended Trinity College, where he graduated B.A. in 1879. He also served as Librarian of the University Philosophical Society in the 1877–78 session. Later he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1891 he was appointed dean of the medical faculty of Queen's College, Birmingham.

Professor Windle married twice, first in 1886 to Madoline Hudson, and in 1901 to Edith Mary Nazer.
