How you do
anything,
is how you do
everything.
Heritage meets innovation
The art and science of stonemasonry is the balance that defines everything we do.
It is the creativity to imagine form, proportion, and surface, paired with the discipline to engineer strength, precision, and permanence. Like an artist refining a canvas or an engineer testing a structure, we approach each project with the same dual lens; beauty measured against exacting standards.
This philosophy is what allows AFJONES to transform raw stone into work that inspires confidence, elevates design, and endures in both function and form.
experience and
expertise
Our work spans architectural and interior commissions, heritage conservation, and complex structural stonework.
Each requires its own balance of skills, but the principle remains the same; meticulous planning, technical discipline, and craftsmanship that respects both the material and the design intent..
This breadth of expertise makes us a trusted partner for architects, contractors, and designers who demand certainty as well as creativity.

Our Heritage
This timeline captures some of the milestones that matter, from leasing our original Reading yard in 1866 at £8 per year, to expanding into Oxfordshire workshops, and becoming a trusted advisor to Contractors, Architects, Interior Designers and Private Clients across the globe. Beyond events, the story is about people, places, and the enduring presence of stone made to last.
SIX GENERATIONS OF CRAFT
Rooted in a Reading workshop started by William Jones in 1858, we have remained proudly family-run for over 160 years and are now in our sixth generation.
Over the decades we have grown with care, adding workshops, engineering expertise and a strong presence in Oxfordshire. What has never changed is our culture of perfection, our commitment to craftsmanship, and our focus on detail.
Our close-knit team has grown alongside our reputation. Many of our masons have come through in-house apprenticeships to delivering quality work with integrity.

Look at what we do,
but look closer at how we do it.
heritage meets
innovation
Generations of knowledge continue to guide us, but today they are supported by advanced digital modelling, 3D scanning, and CNC production. These tools give us a level of precision and efficiency that allows even the most ambitious projects to be delivered with confidence.
This evolution also extends to how we approach responsibility. We source stone responsibly, reduce waste, and make full use of the material’s natural durability.
By combining modern methods with time-honed skills, we ensure stonework that is both relevant for today and lasting for tomorrow. Our legacy gives us depth and authority, while our ability to adapt keeps us at the forefront of design and delivery in stone.
