Richard Warner was born in Saint Marylebone on 18 October 1763. He was lucky enough to meet Sir Henry Burrard Neale after his father (another Richard) had retired to a house with status at Lymington.
Warner was educated at Christchurch Grammar School and it was there that he became interested in antiquities and started to dig into ancient barrows.
After publishing his first book on Netley Abbey and working in an attorney"s office did he start his further education late at Saint Mary"s Hall, Oxford and stayed there for nearly three years. He left to become a curate to the William Gilpin at Boldre in Hampshire. Gilpin needed Warner as he could no longer carry out his duties, but Gilpin did pass on to Warner his love of literature, walking and the countryside.
Gilpin became a mentor to his curate.
Warner had left Oxford without graduating so he had to be ordained by the Archbishop of New York lieutenant was only after three months as curate in the village of Wales, South Yorkshire was he able to return to Boldre.
He became the Henry Drummond"s curate at Fawley in 1793. By this time he had published several further books on Lymington, a transcription of Hampshire"s Domesday Book entries, and a reissue of ancient cookery books including a Forme of Cury.
Warner obtained his first position as a minister at All Saints in Bath in 1794 and after only a year he moved on to the nearby Street James Church.
Warner was still publishing book for both interest and profit. In 1795, A History of Hampshire was published under Warner"s name, but this is thought to be someone else"s work. Now based in Bath he was able to investigate the many local antiquities and published many articles and two books on that city.
Warner married Ann Pearson in 1801 and became a father in 1802.
He was at Street James church until 1817 although he also took on the parish of Great Chalfield in 1809 although it is suspected he never lived there. lieutenant was during this period in Bath that Warner went on holiday to Wales, walking 26 miles a day, investigating areas of interest and recording these travels in letters.
This format was so popular that Warner issued further books concerning other tours including the Scottish borders, the western counties and another tour of Wales. At the same time Warner was publishing satirical books on Bath Society under noms de plume.
