stonemason Hugh Peachey has launched his new website www.themasonsyard.co.uk onto the net with the help of a grant from Herefordshire Council's Creative Industries programme.

The website will enable potential customers to view past commissions in addition to viewing handcarved natural stone fireplaces and other pieces in stock.

He said: "This funding has enabled me to move my business up a step. It is vital to be accessible to potential clients on the net and the support and help from the Creative Industries programme has been invaluable.''
