Stamford, in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, had a population of around 20,700 at the 2021 census — a stone-built town whose streets have barely changed in two centuries.
England's finest stone town
Stamford is built almost entirely from local limestone, and its streets of Georgian townhouses, medieval churches and coaching inns are so well preserved that the whole town centre is a conservation area — often called one of the best-preserved stone towns in England. That look has made it a favourite film and TV location: Stamford has stood in for other periods and places in productions including the BBC's Middlemarch, the 2005 film of Pride and Prejudice, and more recent series such as The Crown and Wolf Hall.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Stamford's town centre is geared towards its historic townscape — independent shops, cafes and the odd film crew — rather than a dedicated sweet shop stocking bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines.
