Uffington was a substantial and impressive house built for Charles Bertie in 1688.

Uffington, Stamford Canal Bridge

Stamford Canal runs parallel to the river Welland between Stamford and Deeping St James, in places as a separate channel and elsewhere as a stretch of the river made navigable.

As the canal crosses Uffington Park, 1.5 miles east of Stamford, the bed of the former canal is completely dry, though its route can still be clearly seen across the pasture land.

This small bridge once carried farm and other estate traffic across the canal.
