Most medieval stonemasons belonged to a guild that looked after its members. The guild regulated trade practices and working hours as well as provided sick pay and pensions. Stonemasons were involved in some of the most important buildings in history through the use of tools.

Stonemasons worked and dressed stone. They made stone blocks for all sorts of construction, but especially castles and churches. Since many stone buildings were decorated with carvings, many of the stonemasons became sculptors.

They generally worked on castles (fortified homes), churches and cathedrals, built from stone.

Large buildings were not designed by architects in those days but by the site's Master Mason, a craftsman with sufficient knowledge and experience for the time to transform the client's wishes into the physical building. He wouldbe basically the architect but that profession per se was yet to be invented.
