See the sticky here: http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/162-Occupations-general-forum

the Genuki site :http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Occupations.html select stonemasons, it has info froom the warwick University Library Modern records Centre & include some obituaries.

A Google will probably find some books on the subject, Parish Chest may oblige.

I actually know a modern day stonemason, yes they do still exist, when I next see him I will ask him for you.
