Warner, took up a curacy at Boldre, Hampshire. Here he served under the Revd William Gilpin (1724–1804), an enthusiastic walker and admirer of New Forest scenery, who could no longer minister to his parishioners himself. Gilpin became a close friend, a fatherly patron, and a formative literary influence. See ODNB for a full bio.
