 Stamford
|
|
| Stamford, one
of England's oldest coaching towns, full of character and bustle
that makes it one of the most visited towns in the area. There
are over 500 listed buildings within its medieval walls.
Now bypassed by the
busy A1, the town is a peaceful haven, except for the visitors.
In the 13th and 14th
century the town was so important it had it's own university,
and it's fine church buildings remain.
Visit All Saint's
Place with its outstanding buildings. Browne's Hospital, medieval
almshouses, with a Jacobean hall and chapel. Down by the river
are the Burghley Almshouses, whilst St George's Square is
worth a look at with the famous George Hotel, an old coaching
inn from the 14th century.
