Notes: Hawksmoor was trained by Christopher Wren in architectural design and history and worked with Vanbrugh. Vaughan Hart, writing in his book "Nicholas Hawksmoor: Rebuilding Ancient Wonders" (2002), refers to the unique signature Hawksmoor gave his "haunting buildings which still connect, as powerfully as any Picasso, with our innermost hopes and fears." Hawksmoor designed the towers of the west front of Westminster Abbey.
