In short

The Building Crafts College in Stratford, East London, teaches traditional building crafts and building conservation. It was founded in 1893 by the Worshipful Company of Carpenters, which still governs and supports it as an educational charity, and it moved from central London to Stratford in 2001. Its courses include diplomas and apprenticeships in bench joinery, site carpentry, stonemasonry, heritage stonemasonry and bricklaying, a two-year diploma in fine woodwork, furniture design and making, and short courses such as stone carving.
