In geology, a rock is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition, and the way in which it is formed. Rocks form the Earth's outer solid layer, the crust, and most of its interior, except for the liquid outer core and pockets of magma in the asthenosphere. The study of rocks involves multiple subdisciplines of geology, including petrology and mineralogy. It may be limited to rocks found on Earth, or it may include planetary geology that studies the rocks of other celestial objects.

As you explore Stone, you'll discover a rich history dating back to the Roman era. In fact, the remains of a Roman villa were discovered in the area, and you can still see the impressive mosaics that were uncovered.

But Stone's history doesn't stop there. The town also played a significant role in the English Civil War, with a battle taking place on the outskirts of the town. You can learn more about this at the local museum, which is housed in a beautiful Georgian building.
