Engraving names into stone is not a new concept. Since mankind has existed we have felt the desire to leave some form of legacy of our being by carving names and images in rock. The first known “Engrave-a-brick” campaign in the UK was at Guildford Cathedral being built in 1952 although instead of actual engraving, sponsors were invited to sign their name on a brick in pencil at a cost of half a crown (12 pence in our money) the brick was then used for the main structure of the building.
