Oakham
Oakham is a small traditional bustling English market town and was mentioned in the Domesday book in 1086. The historic heart of Oakham clusters around the Market Place, just off the High Street and here you will find the 400 year old Butter Cross where dairy products were once sold, the stocks, unusual for having five holes and the old town pump. To the north of the square is Castle Lane leading to Oakham's Norman Castle where a collection of horseshoes given by visiting aristocracy over the centuries are displayed in the Great Hall.
