I am a teaching assistant at st georges school and we have a engraved stone in the lobby. On this stone is engraved 23rd july 1960 and we are trying to find why it was laid. The arch bishop of lincoln presented it but no one has any record does anyone know anything..
Kate: Anyone know the significance of this engraved stone? Could it be one of the stones from the original St George's School?
Helen - if you take a photo of the stone and email a copy to me at
kate@stamfordtown.com I will put it on this thread.

St. Georges School was built by Clarke and Belton, a Stamford building firm on or around that date, so I suppose that would be the date of the laying of the stone or the date the school was opened

The old St Georges School was associated with St Georges Church like All Saints School (All Saints Church) most schools at one time were associated with Church and parishes throughout Town. Perhaps this stone did come from the original school as mention of the Bishop is made? hopefuly someone can confirm. Syd's posting about the date and Clarke and Belton being the builders is correct so perhaps this stone has no other significance other than recording the date of construction?
Would be nice to know the full facts though.
