Under the patronage of Sir Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor became one of the leading architects of his generation. He was first appointed by Wren as a personal clerk but was trusted with increasingly important commissions. He collaborated with Wren on Kensington Palace and the Royal Naval Hospital, Greenwich and worked with John Vanbrugh on Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace. As an independent architect, he worked on Queen's College and All Souls College, Oxford, and designed many London churches.
