Main Road, STAMFORD, PE9 3PQ

Built 1838, coursed rubble limestone with ashlar detailing and Collyweston stone slate roof.

The South Chapel. An unusual addition, complete with separate west door, it dates from the late 15th century and may well have been built by Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond, who lived at Collyweston Palace.

A difficult church to do photographic justice to as the small churchyard is well planted with yew trees. The church dates back to the 11th century although there is little visible evidence of early work on the exterior. The tower is Perpendicular, of the 15th century. The Church is Listed Grade II*. The group of chest tombs just visible between the tower and porch are separately Listed Grade II. There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4779334 at the base of the left hand buttress of the tower.

In the churchyard, and heavily surrounded by yew trees. Unveiled in 1920 to commemorate the fallen of the first World War, and with later inscription for the Second. Designed by local architect H.F.Traylen, Listed Grade II in 2015.

A large pub alongside the main A43 through the village. The English Heritage Pastscape entry http://pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=544020 suggests that the buildings were converted from houses to a pub in the 1970s, but in practice old OS maps show at least the far right hand end marked as the Slaters Arms at the end of the 19th century. The 1970s conversion almost certainly involved the inclusion of the house on the corner. This is dated 1856, while the rest of the right hand range dates back to the 17th century.
