Keck was born at
Randwick, Gloucestershire in 1726. He designed in the "austere
Neoclassical style of the late eighteenth century – a provincial follower of
Robert Adam." He died on 4 October 1797 at the age of seventy, at Beech House, the home he partly designed for himself, in the village of
King's Stanley,
Gloucestershire, where he had his workshop and studio for most of his life. He is buried in St George's Church in the village. ==Works==
