Stone is a market town and civil parish in the borough of Stafford, Staffordshire, England, lying on the floodplain of the River Trent with the Trent and Mersey Canal running close by. Its position between Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent gives it good rail and road links and a mix of small‑town tranquillity with easy commuter access to larger centres.
Historically a market and coaching centre that later benefited from the canal era, Stone still retains a compact market square, a high street of independent shops, pubs and cafés, and a riverside/canalside character popular with walkers and boaters. The local economy blends retail and light industry with a strong community life, marked by regular markets, local events and active heritage groups that keep the town’s past on view.
