Untitled[edit]

I'm reassessing this article as B-class due its expansion. Inline referencing would be great. The intro paragraph might need a little cleanup. I know nothing about him, but who is it that claims he was a fabulous architect? If it is an often-cited statement by scholars, please cite sources for it. An image or two of some of his works would also be very welcome. Valentinian ^{T / C} 21:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The expansion of the stub on Thomas Garner was largely based on a document found amongst old papers by the current tenant of Wasperton Hill Farm (where Garner was born in 1839). It was written by Edward Prioleau Warren, the British architect who was articled to G.F.Bodley, (that would mean also to Thomas Garner). As a younger contempory, Warren seems to be setting the record staight on the buildings Thomas Garner designed. Note: Warren has a page on Wikipedia. Thomas Garner is mentioned on the Wikipedia page devoted to G.F. Bodley. Garner is also mentioned in a pamphlet about G.F. Bodley published by the Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Epping, which states Bodley and Garner designed the Cathedral at Hobart. I will try to find some images of TG's work.Keoghse 03:55, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
