Stukeley House, number 9 Barn Hill, was built in 1802 with the porch added in the early 19th century and a rear wing added circa 1840. Constructed of ashlar under a stone slate mansard roof. This house was built on the site of an earlier house, the residence of William Stukeley, the antiquary, from 1743 to 1748. This earlier house is said to be from which Charles I escaped in disguise prior to his capture in 1646. Many original internal features and fittings remain. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1147402 Stamford is a market town on the southern border of Lincolnshire, located at the lowest point that the River Welland could be forded. It is some 11 miles northwest of Peterborough and about 27 miles east of Leicester, and is set on Roman Ermine Street and the Great North Road. The picturesque town is constructed almost entirely of limestone, much of the town centre was built in the 17th and 18th centuries in Jacobean or Georgian style. Tourism is an important element of Stamford’s economy.
