Hello Kate,The map,from Butcher's survey of Stanford of about 1620 was to do with what was built between Silver lane and Ironmongers street.This map shows a Printing office in those days.The poem of the Stamford Scutcheon comes from the same book and although quite rude at the beginning I thought very interesting.By the way the pics of the Boon family are fantastic my sister was a friend of Mary at the High School,so I will forward the pics to her.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!.Regards Phil. |
