This article makes the case for a centenary restoration of George Sturt’s classic study of British vernacular craft at the end of the nineteenth century, The Wheelwright’s Shop (1923). It considers how the craft knowledge Sturt describes relates to his other craft – writing. It documents the book’s changing relevance to readers a century after publication. Approached by way of contemporary ideas about environmental sustainability, material culture, and ecological psychology, Sturt’s book deserves renewed attention from twenty-first century readerships
