Stone is a market town and civil parish in Staffordshire, England. The town was named after a pile of stones were taken the River Trents and used as gravestones for the two princes Ruffin and Wilfad. The church was built over these stones in 670 and lasted until the 9th century before being destroyed by invading Danes. Stone's reputation for excellent food & drink is cemented by the monthly Farmers' Market and the annual Autumn Food & Drink Festival. The festival takes place the first weekend in October and brings together the very best in local produce and cooking talent. It attracts over 20,000 visitors to the town and runs for one week with the 'main event' on the town's Westbridge Park on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
