St Martin's Church, Stamford, is a parish church in the Church of England located in Stamford, Lincolnshire, England. The area of the town south of the River Welland was in Northamptonshire until 1889 and is called Stamford Baron or St Martin's. ==History== St Martin's Church was founded by the 12th century. It was entirely rebuilt in the Perpendicular style in the 15th century.〔The Antiquities of Stamford and St Martin's: Compiled Chiefly from the Annals of the Rev. Francis Peck, with Notes; to which is Added Their Present State Including Burghley; by W. Harrod. ... By Francis Peck, William Harrod. Published by printed by and for W. Harrod, and sold by W. Lowndes, London, 1785〕 The North Chapel houses the tombs of the Cecil family, including monuments to William Cecil, first Lord Burghley, and John Cecil, 5th Earl of Exeter. The church was restored over the course of the nineteenth century, with a new nave roof, lowered floor, extended Burghley Chapel, as well as new oak pews, pulpit, bells and organ. The majority of the mediaeval coloured glass was bought by the Earl of Exeter from the Church of the Holy Trinity at Tattershall in 1754.〔(Church of the Holy Trinity at Tattershall website )〕 Properly it is the Church of St Martin Without, Stamford Baron. Burials include Dutch portrait painter William Wissing (1687), in the churchyard, and Daniel Lambert (1809), in the detached part of the churchyard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Martin's Church, Stamford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
