Andrew Ziminski.
The Stonemason: a history of building Britain.
John Murray. 2020

In his thirty-year career, Andrew Ziminski has worked on many of our greatest monuments. From Neolithic monoliths to Roman baths and temples, from the tower of Salisbury Cathedral to the engine houses, mills and aqueducts of the Industrial Revolution and beyond, The Stonemason is his very personal history of how Britain was built – from the inside out.
