He was educated at Ushaw and Stoneyhurst and was articled to Charles Francis Hansom in Bristol, setting up business in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1854. Edward Joseph Hansom was taken into partnership in 1871. Hansom had been born on 22 October 1842, the son of Charles Francis Hansom and the nephew of Joseph Aloysius Hansom, and had been articled to his father in Bath in 1859 and taken into partnership in 1867, by which time the practice had moved to Bristol. He had remained there until joining Dunn in 1871.
Dunn's son, Archibald Manuel Dunn, had been taken into partnership in 1887. In 1894 W Ellison Fenwicke, who was a friend of Dunn, was also taken into partnership but the younger Dunn withdrew in 1903.

The practice specialised in Catholic commissions and many local churches in the Newcastle area have some work by them.
