St John the Baptist's Church, Stamford, Medieval church in Stamford, England.
The limestone church features a five-stage tower with clasping buttresses, two aisles with clerestories, and a chancel accompanied by chapels.
Founded in 1101, the church underwent substantial construction during the 15th century, with the current structure completed in 1451 during Stamford's wool trade prosperity.
The interior contains painted angels on the fifteenth-century roof timbers, decorated in black, red, and yellow, with grotesque stone heads supporting wall posts.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 10 AM to 5 PM and stands within 0.5 miles of Stamford railway station on St John's Street.
The nave roof displays horizontal winged angels and stone-carved grotesque heads that represent caricatures of local medieval residents from 1451.
