Life

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

Works

Keck is credited with designing some fifty[3] country houses in the South-West of England and South Wales. His works include:

Keck's work was not confined to country houses, including churches, such as Old St. Martin's, Worcestershire[5] and St. Peter and St. Paul's, Upton-Upon-Severn, including its famed lantern and cupola;[6] public buildings, such as the Worcester Royal Infirmary[7] and contributions to the Stroudwater canal.[8]
