Oakham untouched by time.

Oakham is one of those amazing places that has hardly been touched by time. It was the county town of Rutland until 1974 with Rutland being the smallest county in England at that time. However in 1974 it became a part of Liecistershire county. It's weather vein Cock Peter is found on All Saints church and is said to have guided the soldiers on their way to Agincourt in 1415. There was a church in Oakham in the Norman time, however nothing is left of it. The church that was built in the 13th century has some remains for us to see today including the splendid porch with it's details of wood carvings of animals. The Oakham Bible dates back to 1215, before the Magna Carter.

This is a little history into the wonderful town of Oakham, some what untouched by time. A place set in the rolling hills of the British countryside.
