Contents: Drawing on a considerable body of Jackson’s own - his ‘recollections’ – this title covers both his life and successful career from his education at Brighton and Oxford, his early training as a painter with William Turner, his apprenticeship in architecture with Gilbert Scot, through his first commission in the early 1860s and fellowship at Wadham College. His later travels in Dalmatia in the 1880s, his work at Westminster, Winchester, Uppingham and Rugby in the 1890s and the receipt of the RIBA Gold Medal, horary degree at Oxford and baronetcy by 1910, form the culmination of a remarkable career. James Bettley’s introduction, The Reputation of Jackson, explains the changing attitudes towards Jackson’s buildings.
