Practice Information
Nicholas Hawksmoor - the Architect
1661-1736
Nicholas Hawksmoor is regarded by most people as being one of England's
greatest architects alongside Sir Christopher Wren and Sir John Vanbrugh.
Hawksmoor was born in Nottinghamshire. Early in his career he worked for
Christopher Wren. Later he worked as an architect for John Vanbrugh on Castle
Howard in 1699 and then Blenheim Palace, both in England.
Hawksmoor's style was more robust and stark than Wren's delicate and ornate
tradition. St Georges Church for example is strongly articulated and
seems more concerned with the modelling of form than refinement of decoration
prevalent amongst many of his peers. Nicholas Hawksmoor was in my view a
very bold and talented figure and deserves to be better known amongst non-architects.
