About John Hawks
John Hawks was an English-American architect active in the Province of North Carolina during the late colonial period. Born in Shipston-on-Stour, he worked under the Palladian architect Stiff Leadbetter. He accompanied William Tryon, the expectant governor of the Province of North Carolina, to New Bern in 1764. He was commissioned by Tryon to design and build Tryon Palace, a governor's mansion and assembly hall built from 1767 to 1770. He designed the St. Matthews Anglican Church in Hillsborough in 1768–1769, and drafted unbuilt designs for a church cupola and jail in Chowan County.
