Oakham
Oakham is an old English market town in Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It lies to the west of Rutland Water, which is one of the largest man-made lakes in Europe. It is home to All Saints' Church, erected in the 14th Century, and Oakham Castle, which was built in the 12th Century. Only the great hall of the castle is still standing, and it is a favourite tourist attraction in the area.
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 products.
An interesting landmark in Oakham is the Oakham Signal Box, which Airfix used as a template for all their model rail products. Another tradition that the town has is displaying horseshoes in the great hall of the castle. Every time a member of royalty or peer of the realm passed through Oakham, they had to pay a penalty in the form of a horseshoe. The horseshoes hang upside-down which is widely seen to be unlucky, but in Oakham this was to stop the Devil from resting in the hollow.
