Macaulay was born in Hodnet, Shropshire, son of a rector of the parish who was cousin of the historian Lord Macaulay. Classical scholar George Campbell Macaulay was a brother, through whom authoress Rose Macaulay was his niece. His forenames appear to have been given after Bishop Reginald Heber (1783-1826), also an earlier rector of Hodnet.
