Stamford Baroque I


   I went to Stamford last Friday in search of the Baroque.  My first selection are united by the use of  the Mannerist/Baroque 'Giant Order', here in the form of rusticated pilasters, a particularly French motif known as a chainage. Though in the first example the direct influence is Vanbrugh's work nearby at Grimsthorpe Castle.
