Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nicholas Hawksmoor was a British architect born to a humble family in Nottinghamshire. His career formed the brilliant middle link in Britain''s trio of great baroque architects. Hawksmoor was characterised by Howard Colvin as "more assured in his command of the classical vocabulary than the untrained Vanbrugh, more imaginative in his vision than the intellectual Wren." From about 1684 to about 1700 Hawksmoor worked with his teacher, Christopher Wren, on projects including Chelsea Hospital, St. Paul''s Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace and Greenwich Hospital. Thanks to Wren''s influence as Surveyor-General, the modest and diffident Hawksmoor was named Clerk of the Works at Kensington Palace (1689) and Deputy Surveyor of Works at Greenwich. In 1718, when Wren was superseded by the new, amateur Surveyor, William Benson, Hawksmoor was deprived of his double post to provide places for Benson''s brother, a bitter blow. "Poor Hawksmoor," wrote Vanbrugh in 1721. "What a Barbarous Age... What wou''d Monsr. Colbert in France have given for such a man?"
