Excerpt from the Foreword 

Stamford is a town which has always encouraged superlatives. Celia Fiennes, the late 17th-century traveller, said Stamford is 'as fine a built town all of stone as may be seen'. Sir Walter Scott apparently doffed his hat to the view up to St Mary's Church, claiming it was the finest sight on the road between London and Edinburgh. John Betjeman called Stamford 'England's best town'. In 1993, BBC television used Stamford as the setting for George Eliot's Middlemarch drama. The producer, Louisa Mars, said 'Stamford is beautiful, extraordinary; it is absolutely stunning.' This book is the latest in a long tradition of Stamford histories and guides. Hopefully it is the most comprehensive and accurate. The story of the town unfolds through 1,000 years of history. Local events are always linked into national history, particularly in the pre-Conquest period, the Wars of the Roses, the Reformation and Civil War. As the town becomes increasingly provincial, so the national references decline. Combined with the main text is a selective Gazetteer to the buildings and sites of Stamford and the surrounding area.
