What is Stamford Famous For?

Stamford is renowned for its history, architecture and charm. You’d be hard pressed to find an English town that rivals its historic limestone buildings or its beautiful Georgian architecture, which spans the length of its cobbled streets. Stamford is an architect’s dream simply because it’s home to over 600 listed buildings that haven’t lost their time or place in society.
