All about Stamford
Stamford is an architectural jewel in Lincolnshire, on the eastern side of England. A conservation area since 1967, the town contains five medieval churches and 600 buildings constructed of creamy-coloured limestone, most of which were built during the Georgian era in the 18th and 19th centuries. A market town, Stamford once prospered from the medieval wool trade. On the outskirts of the city, the majestic 16th-century Burghley House, with its extensive gardens and lakes, has been used as a location for many TV programmes and films.
The town’s cobbled streets are home to a rich selection of independent stores, tearooms, antique shops, and historic coaching inns, along with the Stamford Corn Exchange from the 19th century, which is now a theatre. The River Welland winds its way through the heart of the town, and the Town Meadows along its banks offer an appealing green space for picnics and a path for a riverside walk.
