Abstract
AbstractThe Harpur Crewe estate in Derbyshire, now the property of The National Trust, possesses what is probably the largest concentration of lime-kilns in Great Britain. Through the fortunate survival of the estate papers, it has been possible both to reconstruct the history of the lime-yards and to relate the documentary and physical evidence. Selective excavation of kilns in the yards has enabled the construction of a typology for the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
