Stonemason using social media to showcase craft

A stonemason said she hopes documenting her work on social media will encourage others to take up her craft.

Rachael Wragg, who works at Lincoln Cathedral, regularly posts videos of her work on Instagram to more than 90,000 followers.

She started working at the cathedral about eight years ago as a stonemasonry apprentice and began documenting her projects to track her progress.

Ms Wragg said: "I really hope by making it more accessible and more visual to people online, by showing people the craft we do, it will encourage young people to look into training and apprenticeships.

"I also hope it will encourage people like myself who retrained later in life to consider an alternate career."
