FROM STAMFORD THE BARONS  

MARCHED TO RUNNYMEDE  

ONE of the most interesting and historic  

market towns in Britain is Stamford, the  

centre of rich agricultural area in the East  

Midlands of England. Its name is derived  

from the old Roman ford which crossed the  

River Welland at this point. As early as the  

year a.d. 449, Stamford is mentioned as being  

concerned in the defeat of the Piets and Scots  

by the British chieftain Vortigern, with his  

Saxon allies under Hengist. The settlement  

developed rapidly under Saxon influence and  

it became an important centre in the district.  

Stamford became Royal Borough in 972  

under Charter of King Edgar and mint was  

established there. The Normans recognised  

its importance and built castle to control  

the main road, and encircling walls to protect  

the town. Industries and trades were developed,  

and by the 12th century Stamford cloth was  

renowned throughout Europe. Parliaments,  

Councils and important gatherings were held  

there during the Middle Ages and the town was  

frequently visited by Sovereigns when engaged  

upon national affairs. William and William  

11, Henry in 1110 and Stephen in 1140, and  

many later kings all visited Stamford.  

King John frequently visited Stamford during  

his troubled reign, and in 1215 the barons, who  

opposed the King's autocratic rule, assembled  

there with an army of two thousand knights  

before commencing their march to Runnymede,  

there to extract the famous Magna Charta from  

King John.  

In the 15th century, Stamford contained six  

monasteries, several religious schools and  

seventeen churches. In 1461, during the Civil  

War, the town was almost entirely destroyed,  

but by the end of that century many of its  

splendid churches had b'een restored. One of  

the finest of these is St. Martin’s Church,  

illustrated here, which dates from 1480 and is  

built entirely in the Perpendicular style.  

conspicuous feature of the interior is the  

magnificent monument to Lord Burghley, Lord  

High Treasurer of England, who died in 1598.  

Stamford is town rich in Elizabethan,  

Jacobean and Georgian houses; it is also  

town of noble towers and spires, acknowledged  

by Sir Walter Scott as the grandest sight on the  

long road between London and Edinburgh.  

No. 308: the Homeland Series hy the House of Seppelt.
