Stamford Community Orchard Group

Stamford Community Orchard Group In Victorian times over 40 varieties of apples were bred around the town, many of these have been lost. We have an orchard and search for the old apples.

Stamford is a market town in the southernmost tip of Lincolnshire. It has been declared the "finest stone Georgian town in England" and has been used as a location for many films and television series, including "Pride and Prejudice" and "Middlemarch". As well as being a wonderful town to live in and visit, in Victorian times the town was surrounded by orchards and nurseries growing apple and othe

r fruit trees. Over 40 varieties of apple were bred here, but with the passing of time many of these have been lost. With the development of the town and the change in farming practices most of the old orchards has disappeared, although some remnants are still visible in the gardens of newly built houses. Stamford Community Orchard group aims to re discover these lost apples. We have a community orchard which we maintain, and where we aim to preserve the wild life. We also run workshops on caring for your apple trees, and we go to schools to encourage them to use the orchard as an educational resource.
