High Street St Martin's Stamford has two High Streets. Stamford High Street proper runs roughly parallel to the River Welland along a ridge on its North bank, and is these days a traffic-free shopping street. What you see here is the High Street of St Martin's parish, South of the river. For centuries this was the Great North Road - the principal route from London to York and Scotland.

St George's Church St George's Church stands in it's own elegant Georgian square. The church is of very early origin and was possibly one of the four churches mentioned, but not named, in Domesday Book (1086). As it stands today its short, narrow, rectangular tower rebuilt in the 17th century is barely noticeable above the skyline of the surrounding buildings. Externally the rest of the church appears to be totally of the 15th century. This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: SONY Model: DSC-W200 |
