THE COUNTY TOWN OF OAKHAM
Oakham School is one of the two Public Schools in the County and is over 400 years old, but has a very modern and progressive approach to education The Buttercross was the traditional site for the market, but these days the stalls are spread around Market Square
Oakham High Street sees much traffic congestion - but a long mooted bypass is likely to be built in the not too distant future. When not used on market days, Wednesday and Saturday, Market Square becomes a car park!!
