The Parish Church of All Saints in Stone in Gloucestershire was originally built as a Chapel of Ease to the Church of Saint Mary at Berkeley, 3 miles to the north. It came under the care of the de Stone family, whose ancestor, Guido, gained favour with the Lords of Berkeley after 1153. As the family prospered, they enlarged and enhanced the Chapel. In the 13th Century a nave was added, 85 ft long and 23 ft wide, in Decorated Gothic style, with a deep thatched roof.
In 1388 the four Churchwardens for Stone took the Vicar of Berkeley to court, forcing him to pay for a chaplain to administer the sacraments and services in Stone.
A battlemented tower and spire were added around 1400. The thatched roof was replaced by lead in the early 17th century. In 1894, the church was re-roofed and other improvements made at a cost of £593.
The church building is surrounded by a churchyard with a narrow extension to the north-east. The Rev. Thomas Veal, Vicar from 1898 – 1934, copied the inscriptions of the memorials inside the church and tombstones outside in the churchyard.
