Gull takes John Netley, his coachman, sole confidant, and reluctant aide, on a tour of London landmarks ( including Cleopatra's Needle and Nicholas Hawksmoor's churches ), expounding about their hidden mystical significance, which is lost to the modern world themes had also been explored in detail by Moore's near contemporary Peter Ackroyd in his novel Hawksmoor, published five years before From Hell.

There is no doubt that Hawksmoor brought to the brilliant amateur the professional grounding he had received from Wren, but it is also arguable that Wren's architectural development was from the persuasion of his formal pupil, Hawksmoor.

Hawksmoor also designed a number of structures for the gardens at Castle Howard these are:

The building is next to St Anne's Limehouse, a significant Hawksmoor church ; and also adjacent to Limehouse Cut, a canal built to provide a short cut from the Lee Navigation to Limehouse Basin.

Together they also wrote a book, Old London Churches ( which identified the six churches designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor as works of real genius ).

Spica has an open on / off relationship with Jack Hawksmoor, but she also slept with The Doctor on one occasion.

The pinnacle of this was Hawksmoor St. John, the architect who planned Opal's great expansion, also a fervent Satanist, who christened several buildings in blood so the lines drawn between them formed a perfect five-pointed star.

The west towers of the Abbey were designed by Hawksmoor but was not completed until after his death.

The declining enthusiasm of the Commission, and the expense of the buildings, meant that only twelve churches were completed, six designed by Hawksmoor, and two by James in collaboration with Hawksmoor.

The present church on the site west of the town centre is St Alfege's Church, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor in 1714 and completed in 1718.

The work was begun under her widower William III in 1696 and completed by Hawksmoor.

The palace had been completed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, his friend and architectural associate.

The craftsmen brought in by the Duchess, under the guidance of furniture designer James Moore, and Vanbrugh's assistant architect Hawksmoor, completed the work in perfect imitation of the greater masters, so there was fault and intransigence on both sides in this famed argument.

He was employed at Greenwich, where in 1718 he became joint Clerk of the Works with Hawksmoor, whom he succeeded as Surveyor to the Fabric of Westminster Abbey, where he completed Hawksmoor's west tower.

The new church was completed in 1716, commissioned from Nicholas Hawksmoor, who had responded with one of his most distinctive and original designs.

The restoration of the interior, begun in 2000 and completed in 2004, restored the fabric of the church ; removed the nineteenth-and twentieth-century alterations ; reinstated the original arrangement of galleries following archaeology to establish their original pattern ; and has recaptured the proportions, light and clarity of Hawksmoor ’ s original design.

Wooden models and plans of the scheme survive, but it proved too expensive and Hawksmoor produced a second scaled down design.

Hawksmoor made a wooden model of his design which is in the Bodleian.

He designed one church for the commissioners – St George's, Hanover Square – and collaborated with Hawksmoor on the design of two others, St John Horsleydown in Southwark and St Luke Old Street.

A good example is Ravensdowne Barracks Berwick-upon-Tweed, among the first in England to be purpose-built and begun in 1617 to the design of the distinguished architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.

The names of the " Crescents " harked back to the Georgian era, being named after architects of that time: Robert Adam Crescent, Charles Barry Crescent, William Kent Crescent and John Nash Crescent, together with Hawksmoor Close ( a small straight block of similar design attached to Charles Barry Crescent ).

Christ Church, Spitalfields is an Anglican church built between 1714 and 1729 to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor.

The architectural composition of Christ Church demonstrates Hawksmoor ’ s usual abruptness: the very plain rectangular box of the nave is surmounted at its west end by a broad tower of three stages topped by a steeple more Gothic than classical. The magnificent porch with its semi circular pediment and Tuscan columns is attached bluntly to the west end: it may indeed be a late addition to the design intended to add further support to the tower.

They appointed Nicholas Hawksmoor, a pupil and former assistant of Sir Christopher Wren, to design and build this church, which he then did between 1716 and 1731.

Sometime before 1736, new designs were submitted by Hawksmoor and Gibbs, with the latter's rectangular design being preferred.

In 1713, Hawksmoor was commissioned to complete King's College, Cambridge: the scheme consisted of a Fellows ' Building along King's Parade, and opposite the Chapel a monumental range of buildings containing the Great Hall, kitchens and to the south of that the library and Provost's Lodge.

In 1690s, Hawksmoor gave proposals for the library of the Queen's College, Oxford.

The frontage was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, part of a substantial rebuilding in the 18th century during which the library was built.

A circular library building was first planned by Hawksmoor around 1715, but nothing was done at the time.

Unlike many of his wealthier contemporaries, Hawksmoor never travelled to Italy on a Grand Tour, where he might have been influenced by the style of architecture there.

Like those of Hawksmoor ’ s other London churches and many of Wren ’ s, the central space is of the nave is organised around two axes, the shorter originally emphasised by two entrances of which only that to the south remains.

In King Charles II's reign, he was employ'd under Sir Christopher Wren, in the stately buildings at Winchester ; as he was likewise in all the other publick structures, Palaces & c, erected by that great Man, under whom he was assisting, from the Beginning ( factually wrong, Hawksmoor was 14 years old then ) to the Finishing of that grand and noble Edifice the cathedral of St. Paul's, and of all the churches rebuilt after the Fire of London.

In 1716 he replaced James Gibbs as one of the two surveyors to the Commissioners for the Building of Fifty New Churches-the other being Nicholas Hawksmoor.

Like other Modernist architects, including Sir Basil Spence and Peter and Alison Smithson, Lasdun was much influenced by Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, but there was a gentler, more classical influence, too, from the likes of Nicholas Hawksmoor.

At the east end, and on the other side of Commercial Street is Christ Church, Spitalfields, a large Nicholas Hawksmoor church.

Georgian succeeded the English Baroque of Sir Christopher Wren, Sir John Vanbrugh, Thomas Archer, William Talman, and Nicholas Hawksmoor.

The church had been built by Nicholas Hawksmoor in 1727 in the fashionable Baroque style.

* March 25 – Nicholas Hawksmoor, British architect ( b. c. 1661 )

The principal creative responsibility for a number of the churches is now more commonly attributed to others in his office, especially Nicholas Hawksmoor.

The building was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor ( Christopher Wren's greatest pupil ) and built between 1711 and 1715 to house the Press's printing operations.

Nicholas Hawksmoor ( probably 1661 – 25 March 1736 ) was a British architect born in Nottinghamshire, probably in East Drayton or Ragnall.

Hawksmoor was born in Nottinghamshire in 1661, into a yeoman farming family, almost certainly in East Drayton or Ragnall, Nottinghamshire.

From about 1684 to about 1700, Hawksmoor worked with Christopher Wren on projects including Chelsea Hospital, St. Paul's Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace and Greenwich Hospital.

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.

" Poor Hawksmoor ," wrote Vanbrugh in 1721.

" Only in 1726 after William Benson's successor Hewett died, Hawksmoor was restored to secretaryship, though not the Clerkship of the works-this post was given to Filtcroft.

In July 1721 John Vanbrugh made Hawksmoor his deputy as Comptroller of the Works.

By 1700, Hawksmoor emerged with a major architectural personality, and in the next 20 years he proved himself to be one of the great masters of the English Baroque.

In 1702, Hawksmoor designed the baroque country house of Easton Neston in Northamptonshire for Sir William Fermor.

After the death of Wren in 1723, Hawksmoor was appointed Surveyor to Westminster Abbey.
