Nicholas Hawksmoor : London churches
Nicholas Hawksmoor is regarded by most people as being one of England's greatest architects alongside Sir Christopher Wren and Sir John Vanbrugh.
Nicholas 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.
The Nicholas Hawksmoor style was more robust and stark than Wren's delicate and ornate tradition. St George’s 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.
