South Front, Canon Frome Court
Fine late 18th century country house - an uncommon survival in Herefordshire. The house has been an ancestral home, a secondary school and is now an organic farming community. The architect was almost certainly Anthony Keck, who built the house for Richard Cope Hopton between 1786 and 1793.

Canon Frome Court
This Georgian country house was built to a design by Anthony Keck from 1786 to 93, and the Herefordshire County Council converted the building to a secondary school that lasted from 1952 to 78. The building is now used as a farming cooperative and intentional community, and was grade II listed in November 1952.

Canon Frome Court, Canon Frome
A handsome Georgian house, the central three bays projecting slightly under a pediment, and the central bay set in a graceful blank arch including a Venetian window. The architect was "almost certainly" Anthony Keck, the client was, certainly, Richard Cope Hopton, and the date was 1786-93. Grade II listed.
In a departure from the usual alternative uses - school or hotel - having been one of the former, the house is now occupied by "a farming cooperative and intentional community" (as opposed to those communities formed by people accidentally coalescing) and owned by the Windflower Housing Association.
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.

The view from the avenue taken from where the public footpath crosses the old driveway (and modern electric fences!). The georgian court became a secondary school for a while then, in 1979, it became a thriving "community" farm.
