Obituary
editI have removed the repeated use of (sic) from the obituary, on the basis that most people will understand that it is written in 18th century English.Thomas Peardew (talk) 12:14, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
Gout of the Stomach
editSo what is this considered to be ? There are a number of mortal stomach complaints --- as a non-Jacobite no doubt the fellow was a rogue, but I wouldn't wish stomach cancer even on the worst Whig. Claverhouse (talk) 13:05, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Picture
editIs there a portrait available showing what Hawksmoor himself looked like?

- Sadly, Sdrawkcab, no there isn’t. A portrait supposedly of Hawksmoor here, is actually the architect James Gibbs. There is a bust of him on the internet, but I’m unsure of the copyright status of photographed busts. I have seen a painted portrait of Hawksmoor, but only a monochrome photo in a very old book. I will try and see if I can find it, it doesn’t seem to be on the internet. Giano (talk) 18:41, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
