He attended Heversham School. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1793 and became senior wrangler in 1797, obtaining his MA in 1800. He also won the Smith's prize in 1797.
He became a Fellow, in 1798, and tutor, in 1807, of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he notably tutored George Peacock: he also tutored John Martin Frederick Wright. In 1815, he became the vicar of Kendal, Westmoreland.
At Cambridge, Hudson also tutored Charles James Blomfield who became a prominent bishop. As a bishop, Blomfield visited Hudson's parish and at a dinner party declared "I remember well, Mr. Hudson, how much I stood in awe of you at College." To which Hudson retorted, "Perhaps so, but your Lordship has turned the tables on me now."
He was the son of a farmer at Haverbrack in the parish of Beetham. In 1815, he married the daughter of an army officer by the name of Culliford.
He died at Haverbrack, Tuesday, October 31, 1843 at the age of 71 and was buried in the interior of the parish church at Kendal.
