Learn more about hotels in Stamford

Established as a borough by King Edgar in 972, Stamford perches itself proudly as a gem of heritage in the vivid tapestry of British history. The name itself, Stamford or 'stony ford', intricately weaves tales of the Anglo-Saxon period. Progressing through centuries, it bore importance as an inland port, prospering from pottery, woolen cloth production, and later, burgeoning industries like leatherworking and malting.

The lustrous thread of Stamford's history doesn't stop here. Known for its annual fairs since the Middle Ages, it was an important stopover on the Great North Road and had military sites during World War II. Today, Stamford blooms as a blend of heritage and modernity, from the longstanding Stamford Mercury newspaper to robust professional services, healthcare, and a thriving hospitality sector.
