Stamford has a reputation for being one of England's finest stone towns.
It has a happy mix of medieval and Georgian architecture that was
untouched by the Industrial Revolution or later large-scale
developments, so its central core has survived remarkably intact. Its
architecture is outstanding, and for this reason, in 1967, it became the
country's first conservation area. In recent years the town has become a
popular tourist destination for both home and overseas visitors.
Stamford in 50 Buildings explores the history of this Lincolnshire town
through a selection of its greatest architectural treasures, from
medieval churches to picturesque town centre buildings. Follow local
author Chris Davies as he guides us on a tour of the town's most notable
buildings.
