He was born in 1879.
He worked for Ernest George before setting up in practice, mainly in Gloucestershire from his house in Theescombe, Amberley but also had an office in London.
In partnership with Harold Baker from 1917 to 1928, he also worked with John Campbell from 1922 under the name Falconer, Baker and Campbell and with Bligh Bond from 1919-1924.
Thomas suffered from asthma. Unfortunately the recognised cure at the time was to smoke which caused his early death in 1934. This may explain why none of our family have ever smoked.
His work includes:
Extensions to the Bear Inn, at Rodborough, 1925.
Alterations to Barton End Manor, Nailsworth which had been one of his childhood homes.
Upmead in The Park, Minchinhampton Common for a Hartley’s Jam heiress 1925 - where coincidentally I often played as a child,
