BiographyBrowne was the most eminent land surveyor in the kingdom, and was called Sense Browne, to distinguish him from his contemporary, Lancelot Brown, who was usually called Capability Brown.[1] At first he resided at his seat of Little Wimley near Stevenage, Hertfordshire, which "he received with his wife." He later moved to Camville Place, Essendon. Browne died at his town house in St. James's Street (now called Great James Street), Bedford Row, on 22 February 1780. His portrait was engraved by W. Dickinson, from a painting by Nathaniel Dance-Holland.[1] Arms{{Infobox coat of arms wide| name = Thomas Browne | image = Arms of Thomas Browne.svg | imagesize = | notes = | year_adopted = 1761 | crest = (1) From a crown palisado (Vallary) or a buck's head sable attired or (Nedham); (2) a griffin's head erased sable, beak & ears or, charged on the neck with a bar gemel argent & a trefoil ermine (Browne). | escutcheon = Sable, 3 lions passant between 2 bendlets argent all between 2 trefoils ermine.[2] | motto = Si Sit Prudentia ("If there be but prudence" (from Juvenal)) | orders = | bannerimage = | banner = | badgeimage = | badge = | symbolism = | previous_versions = }} References1. ^1 2 {{cite DNB|wstitle=Browne, Thomas (1708?-1780)}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Browne, Thomas}}2. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/bk16/pp38-74 |title='Garter King of Arms', in Survey of London Monograph 16, College of Arms, Queen Victoria Street (London, 1963), pp. 38-74. |last=Godfrey |first=Walter H |last2=Wagner |first2=Anthony |date=1963 |website=british-history.ac.uk |access-date=2018-11-01}} 5 : People from Ashbourne, Derbyshire|1708 births|1780 deaths|English officers of arms|Garter Principal Kings of Arms |
