Bevere House, Bevere
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 18 Jul 2014
The most ambitious of Bevere's Georgian houses, standing in its grounds behind a lodge and gates. Its rendered facade has a Venetian and Diocletian window, Ionic porch and pediment. Built for the county historian, Dr T.R. Nash, to the designs of Anthony Keck, c1765. Grade II* listed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
