6th December 2015 Richard Carr – 39 High Street Lee & Son, skin and iron merchants occupied these premises, with part of the building used as a grocery store. In 1900 they also opened a Marine Store here and in 1911 this was managed by Richard Carr’s brother-in-law, Arthur George Ayto. Richard’s father was a blacksmith in Witham-on-the-Hill where the rest of his family were for the census. Richard was 12 years old and listed as a visitor to his older sister, Sarah Ayto. He was still at school so may have been attending school in Stamford and living with these relatives.
