Wikipedia:
Sir John Vanbrugh (24 January 1664 (baptised) – 26 March 1726) was
an English architect and dramatist, perhaps best known as the
designer of Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard. He wrote two
argumentative and outspoken Restoration comedies, The Relapse (1696)
and The Provoked Wife (1697), which have become enduring stage
favourites but originally occasioned much controversy. He was
knighted in 1714.

Vanbrugh
was in many senses a radical throughout his life. As a young man and
a committed Whig, he was part of the scheme to overthrow James II,
put William III on the throne and protect English parliamentary
democracy, and he was imprisoned by the French as a political
prisoner. In his career as a playwright, he offended many sections of
Restoration and 18th century society, not only by the sexual
explicitness of his plays, but also by their messages in defence of
women's rights in marriage. He was attacked on both counts, and was
one of the prime targets of Jeremy Collier's Short View of the
Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage. In his architectural
career, he created what came to be known as English Baroque. His
architectural work was as bold and daring as his early political
activism and marriage-themed plays, and jarred conservative opinions
on the subject...
...Vanbrugh
is remembered today for his vast contribution to British culture,
theatre, and architecture...
...After
Vanbrugh's death Abel Evans suggested this as his epitaph:
Under
this stone, reader, survey
Dead Sir John Vanbrugh's house of clay.
Lie heavy on him, Earth! For he
Laid many heavy loads on thee!
Dead Sir John Vanbrugh's house of clay.
Lie heavy on him, Earth! For he
Laid many heavy loads on thee!
Vanbrugh
was buried in the church of St Stephen Walbrook in the City of
London, but his grave is unmarked and the above epitaph is as yet
unused.
