Stamford lay between the Royalist garrison at Newark and the Parliamentary counties of the Eastern Association. Parliamentary cavalry regularly patrolled the area to prevent Newark\'s garrison from raiding into Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. The town\'s position at the junction of Ermine Street and the road from the Midlands to East Anglia made it a regular focus of small actions throughout the war. Its stone-built townscape offered good defensive positions for small garrisons.
