Stow Park Road as it heads towards the village of Stow in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire
Stow dates back to Roman times and in the Anglo-Saxon period was known as Sidnaceaster ("ceaster" meant fortification or camp). It is most notable for the large parish church Stow Minster, it is one of the oldest churches in Britain and originally served as the cathedral for the diocese of Lindsey.
There is evidence of Roman activity within the village, including the discovery of ancient coins, ruins and foundations from this period.
Around 1640 a certain George Clifford, the rector's son, moved from Stow to Amsterdam. His grandson George Clifford III became the assistant of Carl von Linné the Swedish botanist.
