Longworth Hall, Lugwardine
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 6 Aug 2002
A plain brick house of six bays, distinguished by two-storey bows at each end. A pity it's lost all its Georgian sashes. Built c1760 but remodelled and enlarged by Anthony Keck, c1785-88, for James Walwyn. Grade II listed. It is currently a hotel. A fine cedar stands to the right. Keck (1726-97) was one of a breed of skilled, provincial builder-architects who, during the C18th and early C19th, created substantial parts of the built fabric of the country that we see today. He established a practice in Gloucestershire and worked mainly there and in Worcestershire and Herefordshire. He designed a number of pleasing medium-sized country houses, that mainstay of successful Georgian architects, and was also involved in designing locks on the Stroudwater Canal.
