THOMAS VALENTINE BLOMFIELD is to be ranked as one of the pioneering band whose early settlement and recognition of its possibilities contributed to the development of Manaro. Born at Dagworth, in Suffolk, he was the representative of an old military family, whose traditions he followed by holding a captaincy in the 28th Regiment. He married Christina, the daughter of Captain Richard Brooks, and from his father-inlaw acquired Denham Court, near Liverpool. He was thus a brother-in-law of Richard, that son of Captain Brooks who came to Manaro in 1827. In 1848, when the applicants for leases were gazetted, Thomas Valentine Blomfield sought to obtain Run No. 8, known as Collarnatong, consisting of 35,000 acres and the boundaries whereof, as set out in the Gazette, refer. to neighboring runs as being those of Messrs. Cassels, Brooks, Brierly and Eccleston. Mr. Brooks' run was "Gejizrick." Arthur Blomfield, a son of T. V. Blomfield, was born in 1831 at Dagworth, Maitland, and apparently assumed control at Collamatong in 1853. His sons were Arthur, who held Collamatong, afterwards Coolamatong; Richard, who, during the early sixties, was manager at Coolringdon for Mr. W. Bradley, with three submanagers under him, and who afterwards succeeded to Denham Court; T.V., who entered the Army in India; Edwin, of Salusbury Court, Armidale; Alfred a grazer of Collarenebri, who have all passed away; and Henry, who is still alive in Queensland.

His work as Brigade Major while the Brigate was in contact with the enemy was always most thorough and complete, requiring unremitting attention for long periods, often under difficult, and at time under dangerous, conditions. The successful outcome of the engagement in which the Brigade fought was, in a large measure, due to his care, forethought and hard work.

During the battles in October and November be showed outstanding devotion to duty and a quick grasp of the requirements of rapidly changing situations. He carried out his duties at the Brigade Command Post with calmness and a very quick appreciation of what was required of him. To get a first-hand knowledge of the situation and progress of the operations he visited the battalions on may occasions while they werein action.
