Joseph Richardson (musician)
Joseph Richardson was an English stonemason and self-taught musician from Keswick, Cumbria, who gained notoriety in Victorian times after building an elaborate lithophone with which he and his sons – performing as the 'Richardson & Sons, Rock, Bell and Steel Band' – toured the UK and Europe, giving numerous concerts, including one in London for Queen Victoria.
He is buried in London, at the Kensal Green Cemetery.
