Visited last week for a meal and 80’s Xmas show. The price for both was very reasonable and cannot complain about the food! All three courses very tasty with excellent friendly service. The show was fantastic, everyone up on their feet for the whole show! I have done the same meal and show in the past and really hope they are back next year!

We called at The library as part of our exploration of the town and were greeted by an extremely helpful lady who gave us a street plan and Suggested a tour of the heritage display. She pointed out all the areas of interest and gave us some background on the things on offer leaving us to read and explore further on our own and to try all the interactive parts in the display. The millennium tapestry was amazing particularly to anyone who enjoys craft/needle craft and can appreciate the amount of time and effort that has been put into the piece.

Stamford is a great half way stop just off the A1 motorway if you happen to be travelling North. There is easy parking in a large lot next to the Town Meadows. Traffic was quite busy getting through the main town on a Sunday but it was well worth it. You can picnic on the town meadows where there are picnic tables available. Enjoy a stroll through the stone town with its lovely church spires and lanes to explore. There are cafes and restaurants to enjoy. A very pleasant stop of our journey North.
7. All Saints Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 44 reviews
One of five medieval parish churches in the centre of Britain's first conservation area, All Saints' Church is living history, still in daily use for the worship of God in Christ and for celebrating the life-events of Stamford people. The building is normally open for visitors for sight-seeing, prayer or just quiet reflection between about 08:00 and 17:15 on weekdays, 09:00 and 17:15 on Saturdays, 07:30 and 19:00 on Sundays, but please be aware that changes are sometimes necessary and that services and other events can preclude casual visiting from time to time - a calendar is available on our website. Please to do not post mail to the address of the church: there is no letterbox!

I've read the stories and heard the Celtic folktales of graverobbers, ghosts in search of their graves and the Cóiste Bodhar, or Death Coach. Prominent in the Center of the town's square, her gothic steeple towering in the distance, the vivid reality of these tales sprung to life. Church courtyards, well they are real! Ancient, nameless gravestones, some with crowns etched into the templets of stone, line the stone walls surrounding the church. The evening sun sparked the characters on the stain glass windows. Where centuries collided into a single moment.

Just up the street from the Bull and Swan is the tomb of Lord Burghley. The church yard and church! I wandered just to soak up the historical ambience.

This strange tall spire is a modern version of an Eleanor Cross. It’s arresting , interesting and complemenys the church spire behind it.
