Wonderful to see James Stephenson and his daughter Juliet taking a moment to delve into the rich history of StephensonsRural by exploring our fascinating archive books.

Founded in 1871 by Jacob Stephenson and his son Richard, our company has a long-standing tradition of excellence as chartered surveyors, valuers and auctioneers.

These books, some dating back to our founding year, are filled with meticulous handwritten notes and have been a cornerstone of our stocktaking valuations. Incredibly, these historical records are still used in reference today!

It's lovely to see the legacy being continued by later generations of the family.

Our huge congratulations go to Chris for completing the Marie Curie Coast to Coast cycling challenge at the weekend - well done!

"I would just like to thank StephensonsRural for their kind donation and shirt sponsorship. A big thank you to all the messages of support and donations over the weekend's adventures and the personal challenge I have faced this weekend. There is still time to donate if you are inspired by our 155 miles completed over three days!"
