This pageant, ‘The Story of Our Town’, written specifically by the teachers, consisted of ten episodes depicting the history of Stamford, starting with Edward the Elder's capture of the town from the Danes in 922, and finishing on Charles I leaving Stamford to join the Scots after the first English Civil War. Each episode was introduced by the ‘Spirit of Stamford’. This photograph to this is from Episode Nine, ‘Visit of Queen Elizabeth to Burghley Hall’.
