The stonemason : a history of building Britain
Ziminski, Andrew2021
Book
Stonemason Andrew Ziminski has three decades of experience with the tangible history of this country - from raising stones at Stonehenge, the restoration of roman ruins in the City of Bath, to work to save some of our most important medieval churches and cathedrals. But there's nothing dusty about this stonemason. Offering a unique account of life as a craftsman as well as a history of Britain from the New Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution, 'The Stonemason' is both a celebration of man's close relationship with its greatest of natural materials, and a reminder of the value of 'made by hand'.
