Artisans and Tradespeople in Stamford A look at the various occupations of the working people of Stamford through the ages. This will be the first in an occasional series about the crafts, artisans and tradespeople of the town and area, as there is far too much information to be compressed into one talk. Philippa investigates the raw materials and the many different skills which were used to create and manufacture goods. She also plots where they were sold, and who sold them.
