"William Everard, J.P. was born on 13th July 1821. He was born in a country where the Industrial Revolution was still in its infancy, and farming remained the largest single occupation. The country was on the brink of transformation from the old to the new, one which was to take him from the agricultural world the previous generations of Everards had lived in, into the modern world of urban history. At the age of 29, he was to enter the new world of commerce and enterprise when he went into partnership to lease the brewery on Southgate Street in Leicester. William Everard married Mary Ann Billson on 27th March 1847 and had three children. It was their son Thomas William who was to continue his father's work at the brewery. It was a decision that carried a significant financial risk. William's hard work and his astute decision to buy into the brewing trade at a time of industrial and population expansion combined to make the business a rapid success. The Stamford Arms was William Everard's former home and became an Everards pub in 1921. If you would like to read further information about Everards history, then please ask for a loan copy of our history book - Excellence through Independence

With our refurbishment we commissioned an artist to redraw the Stamfords Arms coat of arms back to its full glory, working with the local history society to ensure its accuracy."
