Numbers 41 and 42 St Paul's street are two houses built in the early 18th century probably incorporating an earlier building. Constructed of coursed rubble stone with an ashlar front under a stone slate roof. Some early internal features remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1360018 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.
