Fix this textFROM STAMFORD THE BARONS
Fix this textMARCHED TO RUNNYMEDE
Fix this textONE of the most interesting and historic
Fix this textmarket towns in Britain is Stamford, the
Fix this textcentre of a rich agricultural area in the East
Fix this textMidlands of England. Its name is derived
Fix this textfrom the old Roman ford which crossed the
Fix this textRiver Welland at this point. As early as the
Fix this textyear a.d. 449, Stamford is mentioned as being
Fix this textconcerned in the defeat of the Piets and Scots
Fix this textby the British chieftain Vortigern, with his
Fix this textSaxon allies under Hengist. The settlement
Fix this textdeveloped rapidly under Saxon influence and
Fix this textit became an important centre in the district.
Fix this textStamford became a Royal Borough in 972
Fix this textunder a Charter of King Edgar and a mint was
Fix this textestablished there. The Normans recognised
Fix this textits importance and built a castle to control
Fix this textthe main road, and encircling walls to protect
Fix this textthe town. Industries and trades were developed,
Fix this textand by the 12th century Stamford cloth was
Fix this textrenowned throughout Europe. Parliaments,
Fix this textCouncils and important gatherings were held
Fix this textthere during the Middle Ages and the town was
Fix this textfrequently visited by Sovereigns when engaged
Fix this textupon national affairs. William I and William
Fix this text11, Henry I in 1110 and Stephen in 1140, and
Fix this textmany later kings all visited Stamford.
Fix this textKing John frequently visited Stamford during
Fix this texthis troubled reign, and in 1215 the barons, who
Fix this textopposed the King's autocratic rule, assembled
Fix this textthere with an army of two thousand knights
Fix this textbefore commencing their march to Runnymede,
Fix this textthere to extract the famous Magna Charta from
Fix this textKing John.
Fix this textIn the 15th century, Stamford contained six
Fix this textmonasteries, several religious schools and
Fix this textseventeen churches. In 1461, during the Civil
Fix this textWar, the town was almost entirely destroyed,
Fix this textbut by the end of that century many of its
Fix this textsplendid churches had b'een restored. One of
Fix this textthe finest of these is St. Martin’s Church,
Fix this textillustrated here, which dates from 1480 and is
Fix this textbuilt entirely in the Perpendicular style. A
Fix this textconspicuous feature of the interior is the
Fix this textmagnificent monument to Lord Burghley, Lord
Fix this textHigh Treasurer of England, who died in 1598.
Fix this textStamford is a town rich in Elizabethan,
Fix this textJacobean and Georgian houses; it is also a
Fix this texttown of noble towers and spires, acknowledged
Fix this textby Sir Walter Scott as the grandest sight on the
Fix this textlong road between London and Edinburgh.
