ResumoThe joiners' workshop within the Harewood Estate was established in the second half of the 18th century by Edwin Lascelles (1712–95), as part of his improvements of the estate landscape. A recent buildings survey of the joiners' workshop is integrated with extensive estate records, creating a biographical account of the structure that relates to three perspectives of the building: of those who designed, built and laboured within the workshop space. The building accumulated social meaning and became entwined in the biographies of people whose daily lives, structured by work on the estate, were inscribed into the standing fabric through the fittings, layout and apparatus.
