This is a series of small, potted biographies of some Stamford personalities from the 20C.
Philippa shares with you a fairly random choice of snapshots of people who have lived and worked in the town. They were not necessarily born or bred in Stamford, but these are people who had some effect or impact on the town, and have been influential in various ways.
