JACKSON, SIR THOMAS GRAHAM, BART. (1835 1924), English architect, was born in London on Dec. 21, 1835, the son of a solicitor, and educated at Oxford, where he became a fellow of Wadham. He worked in the office of Sir George Gil bert Scott for three years, but was not very deeply influenced by the Gothic tradition of Scott. Upon Oxford he has left an especial impress by his additions to Brasenose, Lincoln and Balliol. For Cambridge he designed important university buildings, including the Law library and school, the Archaeological museum, and the Physiological laboratories. Less bound there than at Oxford to the precedent of an existing design, his work, mostly of a late English Renaissance character, shows facility and invention. Jack son was architect to many great English schools. The interior of
the chapel at Giggleswick school, Yorks., is an example of that treatment of colour—in marble and mosaic—upon which he relied so much as a complement to his architectural design. He was a member, and in 1896 master, of the Art Workers' Guild. Jackson made a special study of the architecture of Ragusa, Dalmatia, Istria and the Adriatic coast. The Dalmatians sought his help, as an authority on their traditional type of Romanesque building, in the restoration of the Campanile at Zara which he completed in 1882. He was elected A.R.A. in 1892, and R.A. in 1896, and was created a baronet in 1913. He was the author of several books on architectural subjects. He died on Nov. 7,
