Captain William Winde〔''Wynde'' is pronounced with long i, to rhyme with ''find'', since the last of forty dedications of Sir Balthasar Gerbier's ''Counsel and Advise to all Builders'' (1663) is addressed to "Master William Wine" (Colvin 1995, ''s.v.'' "Wynde, William", p. 1065).〕 (c.1645–1722) was an English gentleman architect, whose Royalist military career, resulting in fortifications and topographical surveys but lack of preferment, and his later career, following the Glorious Revolution, as designer or simply "conductor" of the works of country houses, has been epitomised by Howard Colvin, who said that "Winde ranks with Hooke, May, Pratt and Talman as one of the principal English country house architects of the late seventeenth century" (Colvin 1995, p 1066). Winde was born in Holland to English parents.〔Geoffrey Beard, "William Winde and Interior Design", ''Architectural History'' 27, Design and Practice in British Architecture: Studies in Architectural History Presented to Howard Colvin (1984:150-162) 〕 ==Works== Time has not been kind to Winde's productions. His work included: *Hampstead Marshall, (for William Craven, 1st Earl of Craven), where he completed a house begun by Sir Balthazar Gerbier, c. 1662-1688, from the dates on many surviving drawings.
