House of 1698 (the fireplaces are in the corners of the house, giving the rooms angled corner fireplaces as often seen in houses of this date, which explains why the windows are pushed towards the middle of the façade); according to the RCHM, the window surrounds suggest a remodelling in the mid-C18, but the remaining details of the entrance front derive from a further remodelling designed by Bryan Browning for the Marquess of Exeter in 1843-4.

The C18 gate piers are separately listed: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1147390 .

c.1700, with later 18th-century wrought iron railings. Presumably the ground-floor and first-floor windows originally had mullions and transoms (although possibly wooden ones, unlike the stone mullions of the blocked windows in the basement); even allowing for that, the proportions seem somewhat strange to me.

Built and presumably designed by Henry Tatam, alderman and cabinet maker, between 1796 and 1801, on the site of a house occupied by the antiquary, William Stukeley, while he was vicar of All Saints. Unusual features of the façade, such as the treatment of the cornice and the windows (especially on the first floor), probably reflect Tatam's cabinet-making experience. The porch is an early C19 addition. RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/stamford/pp60-68 (mon. 97); listing: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1147402 . On the far right is the one-bay front of no. 10, dating from 1804, with rusticated quoins and window surrounds which would have been unfashionable by that date but which echo the mid-C18 no. 13 .

From NW. The tower and spire of the Grade I-listed All Saints are late C15: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1062310 . The house on the right with the two-storey bay-window is 6 Barn Hill, with C18 front but C17 origins, Grade II*-listed; the bay window was added by John Wyche, the town clerk, between 1774 and 1781 - he was fined in 1783 for encroaching on to the street: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1062278 ; www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/stamford/pp60-68 , item 95. No. 5, to the left, was originally part of the same house as no. 6, but was divided from it in 1824, and has a mid-C19 porch and (presumably) bay window; also Grade II*-listed: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1147366 .

The houses in Barn Hill mostly have C18 or early C19 fronts, although in many cases they are C17 in origin. In the background the C14 spire of St Mary is just visible; on the right are the late C15 tower and spire of All Saints.
