In addition, he collected a range of Floras. He was an author himself, and among other works, co-wrote The Flora of Oxfordshire which was published in 1998. He also ran his own antiquarian book catalogue business for many years. Stan was active in nature conservation and in 1959, along with his wife Becky, was a founding member of the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Naturalists' Trust (now BBOWT).
