Stonemason

A stonemason came to repair our house wall. I was flattered that he was working on Montacute House, the well known Elizabethan House a couple of miles away, but it was less that our house was important and rather more significant that stonemasons are in short supply nationally. So they are much in demand. Clad in the same style of protective garments worn in medieval times, they are an impressive group of skilled workers, who can handle heights and cut and lay stone in methods which have been in use in England for hundreds of years.
