Constable in See also:Staffordshire on the 3rd of See also:August 1746. He was the See also:sixth son of See also:Benjamin Wyatt, a See also:farmer, See also:timber See also:merchant and builder. At the See also:age of fourteen his See also:taste for See also:drawing attracted the See also:attention of See also:Lord Bagot, newly appointed See also:ambassador to the See also:pope, who took him with him to See also:Rome, where he spent five or six years in studying See also:architecture. He returned to See also:England in 1766, and gained his first See also:great success by the See also:adaptation for dramatic purposes of the See also:Pantheon in See also:- OXFORD

Oxford See also:Street, See also:London (1772), a See also:work which was destroyed by See also:fire twenty years later. In 1776 he was made surveyor of See also:Westminster See also:Abbey, and in 1778 and the following years executed many important commissions at Oxford.
During this earlier See also:period Wyatt shared the prevailingcontempt for See also:Gothic architecture; thus the New Buildings at Magdalen See also:College, Oxford, designed by him, formed See also:part of a See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme, the plans for which are extant, which involved the demolition of the famous See also:medieval quadrangle and cloisters. He built many See also:country houses in the classic See also:style, of which he proved himself a See also:master. Gradually, however, he turned his attention to Gothic, the spirit of which, in spite of his diligent study of medieval See also:models, he never understood. The result is still visible in such " Gothic " freaks as that at Ashridge See also:Park, See also:Hertfordshire, built for Lord See also:Bridgewater to replace the See also:ancient priory, and in the lamentable " restorations," e.g. in See also:Salisbury and See also:Lichfield cathedrals, which earned for him even among contemporary archaeologists the See also:title of " the Destroyer." Of these Gothic experiments the most celebrated was Fonthill Abbey, built for Beekford (the See also:eccentric author of Vathek), the great See also:tower of which speedily collapsed, while much of the See also:rest has been pulled down. None the less, Wyatt must be regarded as the See also:pioneer of the " Gothic revival," while his See also:general See also:influence may be gauged by the fact that nearly every See also:county and large See also:town in England possesses or possessed buildings by him.
