Description
Standing in the nave of a cathedral, it's hard not to wonder how ordinary human beings could have created such awe-inspiring buildings. Stone on Stone presents the full story of the men who built these medieval marvels, from their lives and challenges to the techniques they used.
The book explores the context for building such huge places of worship, the construction process, and the people behind it all - including those who designed, built, and maintained these incredible structures. A fascinating look at the ingenuity and skill of medieval craftsmen.
