Henry Hakewill (4 October 1771 – 13 March 1830) was an English architect.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Henry Hakewill was born on 4 October 1771 to English painter and decorator John Hakewill and Anna Maria Cook.[1]
Hakewill was a pupil of John Yenn RA, and also studied at the Royal Academy, where in 1790 he was awarded a silver medal for a drawing of an aspect of Somerset House.[2]
Career
[edit | edit source]Hakewill began work on a country mansion and eventually had a large and flourishing practice, mostly concerned with country houses. In 1809, he was appointed architect to Rugby School, where the gothic buildings and chapel are his designs.[1] He also did work for the Radcliffe trustees at Oxford and the Middle Temple.
Hakewill designed two notable Greek Revival buildings. Coed Coch, Dolwen, Denbighshire, Wales, a country house with a diagonally-placed portico (now demolished) and stair, was completed in 1804. St Peter's Church, Eaton Square, London was built in 1824–7. (It was rebuilt after a fire in 1987.)
From 1815 to 1816, Hakewill was also commissioned by Farnborough Hall to build a new coach-house and remodel the rose garden and path down to the cascade.[3]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]On 14 November 1804, Hakewill was married to Anne Sarah Frith, daughter of Rev. Edward Frith of North Cray, Kent. They had seven children including:
- John Henry Hakewill (1810–1880), architect[4]
- Edward Charles Hakewill (1816–1872), architect[5]
