HAWKSMOOR, NICHOLAS (16611736)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 100 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HAWKSMOOR, NICHOLAS (16611736) , English architect, of
Nottinghamshire
 
birth
 , became a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren at the age of eighteen, and his name is intimately associated with those of Wren and Sir J. Vanbrugh in the English architecture of his time. Through Wren's influence he obtained various official posts, as
deputy
 -surveyor at Chelsea
hospital
 
    See Also:
, clerk of the works and
deputy
 -surveyor at Greenwich
hospital
 
    See Also:
, clerk of the works at Whitehall, St James's and Westminster, and he succeeded Wren as surveyor-general of Westminster Abbey. He took part in much of the
work
  done by Wren and Vanbrugh, and it is difficult often to assign among them the credit for the designs of various features. Hawksmoor appears, however, to have been responsible for the early
Gothic
  designs of the two towers of All Souls' (
Oxford
 ) north quadrangle, and the library and other features at Queen's College (
Oxford
 ). At the close of Queen Anne's reign he had a
principal
  part in the
scheme
  for building fifty new churches in London, and himself designed five or six of them, including St Mary Woolnoth (17161719) and St George's, Bloomsbury (1720-173o). A number of his drawings have been preserved. He died in London on the 25th of
March
  1736.
