History
All Saints' Church is medieval and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It was substantially rebuilt in the 15th century.[1]
None of the original church is still in existence. There is a very small amount of 12th century stonework, but the bulk of the church dates from the 13th century. Extensive additions were made by the Browne family in the 15th century. Various members of the Browne family are the only people buried inside the Church.
William Browne also founded All Saints Hospital (commonly called Browne's Hospital) in Stamford. It is still in existence, and is still used for its original purpose, as a free hospice and living space for elderly.
