'A palace within a Palace': the Speaker's House at Westminster, 1794-1834

我的项目将调查威斯敏斯特宫内最初的议长府。议长于1794年接管了前审计员之家，并在随后的几年里由詹姆斯·怀亚特（James Wyatt）进行了奢华的改造。我的项目将首次详细研究这座历史学家忽视的失落已久的建筑。我将重建其不断变化的布局和外观;分析其重要性，与议长的不断发展的作用;并考虑其风格的意义怀亚特的作品和格鲁吉亚哥特式复兴。最后，我将考虑第一个议长的房子对其维多利亚时代的继任者的影响。

My project will investigate the original Speaker's House within the Palace of Westminster. The Speaker took over the former Auditor's House in 1794, and in subsequent years it was lavishly remodelled by James Wyatt. My project will provide the first detailed study of this long-lost building which has been overlooked by historians. I will reconstruct its changing layout and appearance; analyse its importance in relation to the Speaker's evolving role; and consider its stylistic significance within Wyatt's oeuvre and the Georgian Gothic revival. Finally, I will consider the influence of the first Speaker's House on its Victorian successor.
