FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Oakham, the county town of Rutland, has a fascinating history. Oakham Castles Norman hall was built by Walkin de Ferrers around 1190, and also houses the famous horseshoes, which were collected from members of royalty and peers of the realm who passed through the town. The impressive tower of All Saints church dominates the skyline from miles around. Rutland County Museum on Catmose Street was constructed in 1794 to be the home of Rutland Fencible Cavalry.
