St. Mary's

Arrived at St. Mary's just in time for rehearsal. By pre-arrangements months before, the church agreed to host our rehearsal while we were in Stamford on our way to Harrogate. According to Wikipedia, the church was built in the 12th century, the tower in the 13th century, and the spire in the 14th century. The tower is 78 feet high, topped by a spire of 90 feet, giving a total height of 168 feet.

St. John's Pulpit

 

 

Again, according to Wikipedia, the pulpit in St. John the Baptist's Church in Stamford "dates from 1953, and was donated by the restorers of the church at that time."

Ceiling

Only a small amount of St. John the Baptist's Church 12th-century fabric remains. According to Wikipedia, most of the interior of the church and the fittings are from the 15th century. "The roof of the nave is finely carved, including angels on the bosses."
