Major Rohde Hawkins (born 4 February 1821 in Nutfield, Surrey; died 19 October 1884, Holmwood, Surrey)〔 was a British architect of the Victorian period. He is known for the schools and churches that he built. ''Note: Both his given names "Major" and "Rohde" frequently cause difficulty; he was not an army major, and Rohde was his mother's maiden name: she was of a German family.'' ==Family life== Hawkins was the third son of numismatist and keeper of antiquities at the British Museum, Edward Hawkins (1780–1867) and Eliza Rohde, who had married on 29 September 1806.〔''Dictionary of National Biography'', Hawkins, Edward (1780–1867), numismatist and antiquary, by W. W. Wroth. 1891.〕 Hawkins was educated at Charterhouse School from 1831 to 1837; the school was then still part of the London Charterhouse in Finsbury.〔 He was engaged by John Greenwood, a Yorkshire mill owner at Swarcliffe, to rebuild Swarcliffe Hall in 1848.〔 Hawkins became close enough to the Greenwood family to marry John Greenwood's granddaughter, Mary Littledale Greenwood of Holmwood, Surrey,〔 on 4 August 1853.〔Nichols, John Gough. ''(The Topographer and genealogist (Volume 3) ).''〕 Mary was the younger sister of John Greenwood.〔 John Bowyer Nichols and sons, London, 1858. A friend of the Greenwoods wrote effusively: "Mr Hawkins married our great friend John Greenwoods sister. He is one of the 1st Architects of the day. He is the Government architect for all these schools &c &c."〔(Letter from E. Louisa Marsh re Hawkins ). PB101067, dated ca 1856/7. Retrieved 10 June 2012.〕 Hawkins and his wife Mary lived at Redlands Farm, Holmwood,〔 which he designed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Redlands )〕 He and his wife are both buried at St Mary Magdalene's Church, Holmwood, which he also designed, and where there is a memorial window to him.〔(Mary Littledale Greenwood ). Retrieved 9 June 2012.〕 He was gazetted as Captain in the Queen's (Westminster) Rifle Volunteer Corps on 25 February 1860. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Major Rohde Hawkins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
