Churches (130) : John the Baptist, Stamford

The church of John the Baptist in the Lincolnshire town of Stamford is now redundant as a place of worship though has been preserved. The church's origin is 12th century though little from that age survives apart from scattered examples of stone work. Most of the current Perpendicular style church dates from the early 15th century including the five stage tower.

The church was restored by the Victorians. Other work took place on the church in the 1950s to address problems caused by subsidence in the vaults. The church has been disused since 2003, it is under the care of the Church Conservation Trust.
