Oakham
Oakham is a historic English market town in Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It lies to the west of Rutland Water, which is one of the most vast man-made lakes in Europe. It is home to All Saints' Church, founded in the 14th Century, and Oakham Castle, which has its roots in the 12th Century. Only the great hall of the castle is still there, and it is a famous tourist attraction in the borough.
Every Wednesday and Saturday in Oakham there is a market where many local goods are on sale. Every third Saturday there is a farmer's market on Gaol Street, where local farmers sell their produce.
A well-known landmark in Oakham is the Oakham Signal Box, which Airfix used as a design for all their model rail kits. Another tradition that the town has is hanging horseshoes in the great hall of the castle. Every time a member of royalty or peer of the realm travelled to Oakham, they had to pay a forfeit in the form of a horseshoe. The horseshoes hang upside-down which is normally seen to be unlucky, but in Oakham this was to stop the Devil from resting in the hollow. To ensure you get the best price for any home development work in Oakham, make sure you look at quotes from vetted traders.
