Abstract Beck House in Giggleswick has been largely overlooked by local and architectural historians. Its architectural quality raises the question of when it was built and by whom. Whilst offering a description of the house, this paper draws on the title deeds and other materials to show that the builder was almost certainly one Charles Nowell (d. 1749), a gentleman with connections to the legal and gentry circles of north Craven and who may have been a lawyer himself. The house was probably erected soon after Nowell’s acquisition of the site in 1720. Parallels are explored.

吉格斯维克的贝克之家：房子和它的建造者

摘要 Giggleswick 的贝克故居在很大程度上被当地和建筑历史学家所忽视。它的建筑质量引发了它何时建造以及由谁建造的问题。在提供房屋描述的同时，本文利用地契和其他材料表明建造者几乎可以肯定是查尔斯·诺厄尔 (Charles Nowell，卒于 1749 年)，他是一位与北克雷文的法律和绅士圈子有联系的绅士，他自己可能是一名律师。这座房子很可能是在 Nowell 于 1720 年收购该地点后不久建造的。探索了相似之处。
