Hi - dont know about this but Ive been told that I need to pin the wall at the back of the house before making a new door way - otherwise it will collapse! Does this mean literally bolting the wall together somehow??
 
It means knocking a hole or holes through the wall, pushing some needles through the holes and supporting each end with props. This supports the stonework until you get the lintel in.
Stonework is usually more unstable than brickwork.
