	History of garden design in the nineteenth century
		Blomfield put the question whether the garden is to be considered in relation to the house or whether the house is to be ruled out when the garden is arranged.
		Blomfield attacked the chief maxims of this unsystematic method, and especially the cardinal doctrine of the imitation of Nature.
		When, eight years later, Blomfield was preparing the third edition of his book, he left out the violent preface to the second edition as no longer necessary, warning people, moreover, not to set up one artificial plan instead of another, which seemed to be the danger of the moment.

	The rebuilding of Piccadilly Circus and the Regent Street Quadrant \| British History Online

		Sir Reginald Blomfield's completion of the Quadrant was successful enough, in a negative way.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Sir Reginald Blomfield
		The son of an English bishop Blomfield, something of a bombastic man, once declared that "horticulture stands to garden design much as building does to architecture".
		Fabian Ware, instigator of the Imperial (later Commonwealth) War Graves Commission successfully persuaded Blomfield to contribute to the commemorative design of cemeteries constructed in honour of the Commonwealth war dead.
		To this end Blomfield designed many of the crosses of sacrifice seen in CWGC cemeteries, including Tyne Cot; he was also the architect of the Menin Gate in Ypres which was unveiled in 1927.

		Sir Edwin Lutyens, Sir Reginald Blomfield, Sir Herbert Baker and Charles Holden laid the foundations for the use of classical renaissance design in the Commission’s building work prior to 1938.
		These principal architects were predominantly active in Belgium and Northern France, where their work is complemented by C.S. Jagger’s rugged and realistic sculptures of soldiers, the stone figures carved by Eric Kennington and a specially commissioned font created by Macdonald Gill which is used for all headstone inscriptions.
		Materials that evoke simplicity, respect and permanence are favoured by the Commission’s sculptors and architects, who combine stone, iron and bronze with brickwork, joinery, steel and concrete in their designs.

	H-Net Review: Peter Mandler on The English Garden and National Identity: The Competing Styles of Garden Design, ...
		Blomfield was defending the recently consolidated status of the professional architect--perhaps surprisingly, given his Arts and Crafts assocations (he was an early member of the Art Workers Guild), but by 1900 he was backing off and rediscovering classicism, a significant turn rather slighted by Helmreich.
		Helmreich closes her discussion by showing how the stark dichotomies represented by Robinson and Blomfield were resolved, again in a socially and intellectually elevated sphere, in the collaborative work of Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll.
		These things are all socially rooted, too, as Robinson's and Blomfield's manifestoes were; it is just that they are rooted more specifically in the world of the garden, and if that makes them seem more specialized, that is only an honest reflection of the limits of the garden.

		Designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, this monument to the allied effort was begun in June 1921 under a grant of £150,000 from the British Cabinet.
		Blomfield, who was classically influenced, planned a great triumphal arch in the Roman tradition.

		The Menin Gate Memorial at the eastern exit of the town of Ypres (known as "Ieper" in Dutch) in Flanders, Belgium, marks the starting point for one of the main roads out of the town that led Allied soldiers to the front line during World War I.
		The "Gate" was merely the gap in the city's star-shaped fortifications designed by Louis XIV's engineer Vauban, which were pointless in the age of shelling: Ypres was reduced to rubble.
		Reginald Blomfield's triumphal arch, designed in 1921, is the entry to the barrel-vaulted passage for traffic through the mausoleum that honors the Missing, who have no known graves.

		The house was designed and built by Reginald Blomfield, later knighted, who was also responsible for the restoration of Chequers, the British prime minister's country residence.
		His original design for the house was never completed to Kearley's satisfaction, and in 1908 he was brought back to replace and enlarge the two wings and completely redesign the frontage.
		Although Blomfield landscaped the estate, Kearley was responsible for actually designing and planting the under-cliff and rock gardens.

		The 'Wrenaissance' house was inspired by Hampton Court and designed in 1908 by Sir Reginald Blomfield (1856-1942).
		To its south lies Blomfield's formal garden, with herbaceous borders backed by yew hedges and buttresses at either side, then yew avenues, and at the centre a sunken garden edged with roses and a central pool in which the house is pleasingly reflected from the far end.
		Also pinetum, and good hothouses with streptocarpus, abutilons, figs, etc. This is Edwardian gardening on a grand scale, characteristically architectural, and exemplifies Blomfield's theories in The Formal Garden in England, in which he attacks the informal style supported by William Robinson.

	Ernest Coxhead in San Francisco (1897-1908)
		Scott commissioned Ernest Coxhead to design this residence for his daughter Alice in 1895 upon her marriage to Dr. Reginald Knight Smith, and members of the same family occupy the house today.
		Thus, favored devices of Coxhead's contemporaries in England confront Morris's pattern-book Georgian, which former schoolmate Reginald Blomfield had just denounced as "weak and pretentious" in his influential book on English Renaissance architecture.
		The irony of combining sources that were considered stylish and banal in London would not be caught by most observers on the West Coast; however, Coxhead developed a more obvious tension between the house and its setting.
