傑弗里·懷亞特維爾爵士
以哥特風改建溫莎城堡
傑弗里·懷亞特維爾爵士(皇家藝術學院院士)是一位英國建築師和園林設計師。他出生於一個著名的建築師世家,原名傑弗里·懷亞特。1824年,喬治四世國王允許他將姓氏改為懷亞特維爾(常被誤拼為Wyattville)。他主要因對查茨沃斯莊園和溫莎城堡進行的改建與擴建而聞名。 傑弗里於1766年8月3日出生在特倫特河畔伯頓,是約瑟夫(1739–1785)和默蒂拉·懷亞特的第一個存活下來的孩子,默蒂拉在傑弗里出生後不久去世。他在特倫特河畔伯頓的文法學校接受教育。父親去世後不久,懷亞特維爾開始在他叔叔塞繆爾·懷亞特的辦公室接受建築培訓。他一直跟隨塞繆爾直到1792年,當時他從米德蘭茲搬到了倫敦女王安妮街的叔叔詹姆斯·懷亞特的辦公室。後來,在1813年叔叔詹姆斯去世後,他完成了赫特福德郡的哥特式阿什里奇莊園。從1786年到1822年,懷亞特維爾每年都向皇家藝術學院提交設計作品,此後頻率降低。沒有證據表明懷亞特維爾曾將出國旅行作為其教育的一部分,這可能是因為拿破崙戰爭。懷亞特維爾於1822年11月4日當選為皇家藝術學院的副院士,隨後於1824年2月10日當選為皇家藝術學院的皇家院士,他的文憑作品是一幅未實施的布羅克斯比大廳設計的圖紙。 His largest commission, the remodelling of Windsor Castle begun in 1824, when Parliament voted £300,000 for the purpose. The eventual cost was over £1,000,000 (a quarter of which covered furnishing). A competition was held between four invited architects, Wyatville, Robert Smirke, John Nash and John Soane, the architects (with the exception of Soane who withdrew from the competition) submitted their designs, in June Wyatville was announced as the winner. The foundation stone was laid on 12 August 1824 by King George IV at what would become the George IV gateway. Wyatville took up residence in the Winchester Tower in the castle in 1824 and would use it for the rest of his life. Eventually the Upper Ward of the Castle would be reconstructed. It was while at Windsor that he designed Golden Grove, Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire for the 1st Earl Cawdor, completed 1834, and its 'sister house' Lilleshall Hall in Shropshire for the 1st Duke of Sutherland, completed 1829. 他於1828年被喬治四世封為爵士。他於2月18日去世,隨後於1840年2月25日安葬於溫莎城堡的聖喬治禮拜堂。
