Stamford - The Official Guided Tours by The Mayor’s Guides
Welcome to the splendid town of Stamford.
Join us on a 90 minute walking tour of this Lincolnshire gem. We will deliver an entertaining and informative narration of the architecture, characters and legends of one of the finest stone towns in England. Stamford has preserved a multitude of Georgian buildings built on a medieval base with Tudor and Victorian interludes. The town has a vibrant history, much of which is still visible in the 600 listed buildings and monuments.
We are “The Mayor’s Guides” and all trained by Blue Badge Guide Jill Collinge: our tour of this ancient town will bring alive the story of Stamford with tales of Georgian elegance, dubious politics and tragic romance and much more! Afterwards, you can enjoy the many pubs, restaurants or independent shops that make Stamford such a great place to visit.
The Mayor’s Guides operate under the direction of Jill, one of the Blue Badge Guides for the region and The Official Town Tour Guide. Jill has over 35 years experience as a guide and lecturer and has also hosted TV, celebrity and royal visits to the town.

Quotes about Stamford
Sir Walter Scott
The finest sight on the road between London and Edinburgh
W G Hoskins
If there is a more beautiful town in the whole of England I have yet to see it.
Cecila FiEnnes (17 Century travel writer)
'As fine a built town all of stone as may be seen'
The producer, Louis Marks of Middlemarch (1993)
When we were planning the programme we presumed we would have to film all over the country - a street here, a square there, a house somewhere else. But then our researchers came back and told us they had found this marvellous town that had everything. So I went up to Lincolnshire, took one look and I knew they were right. Stamford is beautiful, extraordinary; it is absolutely stunning.
John Betjeman
'England's most attractive town'.
Lady Wedgewood, (1936)
'Among stone-built towns there may be some that equal, none I think that surpass Stamford’.
