Anthony Keck (1726–1797) was an 18th-century English architect with an extensive practice in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and South Wales.[1]
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 in the village.
