A memorable visit to a very grand Town . - Nichola's in depth knowledge of the town and her amusing tales of individual people and events. We would never have found out all this on our own . She is a very good ambassador for Stamford , a person you can warm to at first meeting.

A great way to spend an afternoon in Stamford - A great way to spend a January afternoon. Always loved Stamford but learning about its history made it even better.
