Thomas Alcock Beck
Thomas Alcock Beck (1795–1846) was the author of ''Annales Furnesienses'' (1844), a history of Furness Abbey, which was dedicated by permission to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, and which contained twenty-six steel engravings and several woodcuts.〔 Beck was a long-term resident of Hawkshead in Lancashire, where his parents had lived at The Grove. He was to spend much of his life confined to a wheelchair, being unable to walk due to a spinal complaint. At one time he had attended Hawkshead Grammar School and he matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1814, but left without taking a degree. Around 1819 he commenced the building of his regency mansion, Esthwaite Lodge (subsequently a youth hostel), to the design of George Webster. The grounds were specially laid out with easy gradients for his invalid chair.〔Thomas Alcock Beck: article in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, online edition available by subscription, retrieved 4 December 2013〕 Besides other antiquarian interests, he also edited Dr. William Close's unfinished work ''An Itinerary of Furness''.
==Marriage==
On 25 April 1838 he married Elizabeth Fell of Hawkshead〔http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Hawkshead/stmichael/marriages_1837-1864.html〕 (formerly of Ulverston), having obtained a special licence to allow the ceremony to take place within his own home.〔Original Hawkshead parish register, deposited with Cumbria Archive Service, Kendal.〕
