Historical, religious & architectural heritage.
Proclaimed by Sir Walter Scott as “the finest stone town in England”, Stamford
was declared a conservation area in 1967. It has over 600 listed buildings of mellow
limestone in the town centre including five medieval churches, all real gems.
You must not miss the
Arts Centre; built in 1768 it is one
of the oldest provincial theatres
in England, which holds many
events throughout the year,
the Steam Brewery, Browne’s
Hospital and the 12th century
ruins of St Leonard’s Priory.
Stamford is a bustling,
prosperous, market town.
It has a wide range of shops,
hostelries and attractions.
Our main street market is on a
Friday with a smaller Saturday
market and once a fortnight
there is a Farmers’ Market.

event going on at one of
these places or on the Town

festivals’. Whilst you are in
