Captain '''William Winde'''<ref>''Wynde'' is pronounced with long i, to rhyme with ''find'', since the last of forty dedications of Sir [Balthazar Gerbier](/source/Balthazar_Gerbier)'s ''Counsel and Advise<!--Advise in original--> to all Builders'' (1663) is addressed to "Master William Wine" (Colvin 1995, ''s.v.'' "Wynde, William", p. 1065).</ref> (c.1645–1722) was an [English](/source/England) gentleman [architect](/source/architect), whose military career under [Charles II](/source/Charles_II_of_England), resulting in fortifications and topographical surveys but lack of preferment, and his later career, following the [Glorious Revolution](/source/Glorious_Revolution), as designer or simply "conductor" of the works of country houses, has been epitomised by [Howard Colvin](/source/Howard_Colvin), who said that "Winde ranks with [Hooke](/source/Robert_Hooke), [May](/source/Hugh_May), [Pratt](/source/Roger_Pratt_(architect)) and [Talman](/source/William_Talman_(architect)) as one of the principal [English country house](/source/English_country_house) architects of the late seventeenth century" (Colvin 1995, p 1066).
