Below are a list or typical tasks volunteers might choose to undertake. There is no minimum time commitment – you can do as much or as little as you choose, and may do any combination of tasks that interest you.

Possible Volunteering Tasks:

  • Helping man stands at fairs, roadshows and other events
  • Photographing stone buildings
  • Walking round a town or area to record which buildings are stone
  • Proof reading database records to check for factual or spelling errors
  • Adding data to our online database (via this website)
  • Reading through a book or journal such as Pevsner’s architectural guide to find information about stone buildings
