The Church of St Michael the Greater is a late-Georgian Gothic church which stands on the south side of Stamford High Street on the site of an earlier, Medieval predecessor. It is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 193558
Link British Listed Buildings). It was called St Michael the Greater to distinguish it from another church, ‘St Michael in Cornstall’, situated elsewhere in Stamford.
The original mediæval church collapsed in 1832 and the current building, designed by John Brown of Norwich was built in Ketton stone over 1835-6 in Early English style (based on the style of the Lady Chapel of Salisbury Cathedral)
The church was declared redundant in 1974 and after some years when several options, including demolition, were considered it was transformed into shops in 1982
