Description
A plaque on the wall of The George states:
"In Medieval times when the House of the Holy Sepulchre stood on this site, Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem were entertained here. In the garden at the rear, crusaders in their black robes with white cross walked and talked. The gnarled Mulberry tree dates from the time of James I. The main block of the hotel was erected in 1597 by Lord Burghley, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. At least three kings and many other famous travellers have stayed here."
I am still hooked on Stamford!
