Boldre, near Lymington, by the appointment of the vicar, 
the celebrated William Gilpin, the influence of whose work is 
perceptible in Warner’s writings. He afterwards held several 
other curacies, culminating in that of St. James’s, Bath, 
where he remained twenty-two years, and became the best- 
known man of letters in the city. In 1809 he received an 
appointment to the Rectory of Great Chalfield, Wilts, 
which he held until his death, together with one or two later 
preferments. 
He died July 27, 1857, in his ninety-fourth year, and was 
interred in the chancel of Chelwood Church, Somerset, a 
monument being erected to his memory. His widow, who 
resided at Bath, survived until 1865.
