Nicholas Hawksmoor was a major figure of the English baroque at the turn of the 18th century. He assisted Christopher Wren and other great architects of the time with his vast knowledge of architectural history.
Hawksmore said: "Whatever is goode in its kinde ought to be preserv'd in respect for antiquity, as well as our present advantage, for destruction can be profitable to none but such as live by it."
