Anthony Keck

Keck was born at Randwick, Gloucestershire in 1726.^[2] He designed in the "austere Neoclassical style of the late eighteenth century – a provincial follower of Robert Adam."^[3]

He died on 4 October 1797 at the age of seventy, at Beech House, the home he partly designed for himself,^[4] in the village of King's Stanley, Gloucestershire, where he had his workshop and studio for most of his life.^[1] He is buried in St George's Church.^{[citation needed]}
