	Biography of Sir William Chambers, Architect
		William Chambers was born in Stockholm, where his father worked, in 1726.
		Chamber's first work of importance was a villa for Lord Bessborough at Roehampton in Surrey, the portico of which was particularly admired.
		But though Chambers was undoubtedly fascinated by the Chinese style, he nevertheless gained a place among those masters who perpetuated the classical traditions, in the form of the neoclassical style of the late Georgian era.
