14 Stamford and its history
STAMFORD Stamford is a town and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, on the River Welland, just 92 miles north of London on the A1. The town has an array of 17th and 18th-century stone buildings, older timber-framed buildings and medieval parish churches. Rated ‘the best place to live’ in a survey by The Sunday Times in 2013, the area is packed with history and
culture, with the town centre being home to many independents and drawing people from a wide area for the pleasure of shopping, often in traffic-free streets. There is so much to see and do in the town and its surrounding areas, so as well as visiting the 3 KNEAD venues located here, use our out and about guide on page 34 to explore what’s on offer.
