Thomas Falconer was born in Bath, Shropshire, England in 1880. After training with the architectural firm George & Yeates in London, England, he set up his own independent architectural practice at Amberley, near Stroud in Gloucestershire. From 1917 to 1922 he was in partnership with Harold Baker (1890-?) and from 1922 and with John A. Campbell (1878-1948) as Falconer, Baker & Campbell.
Photographs of a house and garden in the Cotswolds, designed by Falconer, Baker & Campbell are illustrated in 'The Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art' 1923 (pp.20, 23) and photographs of the interior and garden of the Manor House at Great Rissington in Gloucestershire, and of the interior of a house in the South Cotswolds designed by them are illustrated in 'The Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art' 1924 (pp.28, 58, 59, 60, 178, 179).
