The house of the serge maker of hardivillers  The house of the serge maker of hardivillers  Small rural borough of Beauvaisis, Hardivilliers offers on its territory of very many traces of its artisanal pluri-activity and its historical evolution. Originally installed around the cemetery and of its disappeared monastery, near the Roadway Brunehaut, old Roman way connecting Beauvais and Amiens, the village develops in XIIème and XIIIème centuries around its new church Saint Pierre. Like very many Picardy rural communes, Hardivillers will work its prosperity around agriculture and of the textile, then of the tablettery. The House of the Serge maker, while having, single thing, preserved its structure of origin, corresponds perfectly to this economic adaptation. Its history recalls indeed perfectly the artisanal evolution of the borough. Built at the end of the XVIIIème century in the street where the craft industry of the textile concentrated, the building has all the characteristics suitable for the work of the serge (the workshop on street, the dwelling house and the garden behind). The disappearance of the textile activity in the campaigns of Beauvaisis at the end of the XIXème century will lead the building in a slow reconversion like workshop of button manufacturer then like coffee - grocer.
