It encompasses from the1780s to the 1830s – an era that marked a seminal moment in the architectural history of our country. It was a complex period of development, with many new materials becoming available, yet still shaped by significant transport restrictions. It is a particularly intriguing time to explore and understand methods of building.
​​
Two days is the minimum needed to engage with the subject. The course delves into the world of the contractors and skilled craftsmen of the age. These individuals were often trained traditionally, with knowledge passed from father to son and through formal indentured apprenticeships.
​
It was a world without modern health and safety regulations, where common sense was expected to prevail.
We will examine how rapid Georgian construction was achieved, the skills, availability of materials, and much more, such as how fashions and wealth influenced development.
