WILLIAM , See also:English 18th-See also:century architectural designer—he described himself as " architect and See also:carpenter." He was also known as See also:Michael See also:Hoare; but whether his real name was William Halfpenny or Michael Hoare is uncertain. His books, of which he published a See also:score, See also:deal almost entirely with domestic See also:architecture, and especially with See also:country houses in those See also:Gothic and See also:Chinese fashions which were so greatly in See also:vogue in the See also:middle of the 18th century. His most important publications, from the point of view of their effect upon See also:taste, were New Designs for Chinese Temples, in four parts (1750=1752); Rural Architecture
in the Gothic Taste (1752); Chinese and Gothic Architecture
Properly Ornamented (1752); and Rural Architecture in the
Chinese Taste (1750-1752). These four books were produced incollaboration with See also:John Halfpenny, who is said to have been hi8 son. New Designs for Chinese Temples is a See also:volume of some significance in the See also:history of See also:furniture, since, having been published some years before the books of See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Chippendale and See also:Sir Thomas See also:Chambers, it disproves the statement so often made that those designers introduced the Chinese taste into this country. Halfpenny states distinctly that "the Chinese manner" had been " already introduced here with success." The See also:work of the Halfpennys was by no means all contemptible. It is sometimes distinctly graceful, but is marked by little originality.
