Stamford is a very lovely, lovable and loving town.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Per head of population, we have more churches, more churchgoers, more help-your-neighbour outreach, more clubs and societies, more pubs\u00a0and\u00a0restaurants\u00a0and\u00a0coffee shops, more theatres, more specialist shops\u00a0and\u00a0market stalls, better weather and less crime than most other places. \u00a0We do lack a cathedral, heavy manufacturing, professional sport, a multi-storey car park, John Lewis, navigable water and university students* (alas, Stamford University, the fourth oldest in England, closed in 1334). \u00a0However, some parts of Stamford have a high level of deprivation against national norms.<\/p>\n

* Nearby Peterborough & Leicester both have all of these, but they are tougher soil for the gospel.<\/h5>\n
