All Saints' Church, Stamford is a parish church in the Church of England located in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
[edit] History
All Saints' Church is medieval and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. None of the original church is still in existence. There is a very small amount of 12th century stonework, but the bulk of the church dates from the 13th century.
Extensive additions were made by the Browne family in the 15th century.[1] John Browne, Merchant of the Staple of Calais, funded the 15th century construction. His son, William, Mayor of the Calais Staple, funded and built the steeple.[2] Various members of the Browne family are the only people buried inside the church. William Stukeley was vicar 1730 – 1747.
An organ by Gray is undated, but the subsequent one, by Hill dates from 1890. Haydon Hare, the church's organist during the period 1885 – 1893,[3] afterwards was organist of Bourne Abbey and then St Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth. The organ was rebuilt in 1916 by James Binns, and again in 2004 by Nicholas Pitts.[4]
