England's Heritage in Stone and the English Stone Forum
The English Stone Forum (ESF) was established in the wake of a conference in York in 2005. The National Stone Centre was invited to assist in editing the proceedings and to carry out all the design work. The resulting publication, England's Heritage in Stone, was launched at the Natural Stone Show, London in March 2008 and has been very well received. This publication is available from the National Stone Centre.
