Joseph Richardson (c. 1790 – 8 April 1855) was an English stonemason and self-taught musician from Keswick, Cumbria, who gained notoriety in Victorian times after building an elaborate lithophone (the most famous of the Musical Stones of Skiddaw) 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.
