Number 63 St Leonard's Street, seen here, and number 62 St Leonard's Street Image were originally one house. There is a datestone of 1662 but part of the structure is medieval. The pentice extension is late 18th or early 19th century. Constructed of coursed rubble stone under a stone slate roof. Now used for commercial purposes. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1360424 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.
