HAWKSMOOR, NICHOLAS (1661-1736), English archi tect, was born in Nottinghamshire in 1661 and died in London on March 25, 1736. He became a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren, through whose influence he became deputy-surveyor at Chelsea and Greenwich hospitals and clerk of the works at Whitehall, St. James's and Westminster. He succeeded Wren as surveyor-gen eral of Westminster Abbey. Hawksmoor shared in much of the work done by Wren and Sir J. Vanbrugh; the early Gothic de signs of the two towers of All Souls', Oxford, north quadrangle, and the library at Queen's college, Oxford, appear, however, to be his own. He also designed several London churches, notably St. Mary Woolnoth (1716-19) and St. George's, Bloomsbury (172o-3o).
