Oakham School is an independent (fee-charging) school in Oakham.

The War Memorial to its pupils is in the form of a doorway with carved saints and such above and to its side. I thought I would be able to stitch these photos together to give an impression of the whole but it seems there’s not enough overlap:-

The names are in panels to either side of the doorway:-

Tower and spire from Oakham War Memorial:-

Is situated in the churchyard of All Saints.

A series of stepped plinths leading to an octofoil arrangement with a broader stone surmount with a simple pillar on top and carvings towards the summit.

The inscription inside the stone wreath reads, “to the men of Oakham who gave their lives in the Great War.”

The names of the dead are engraved on the inshots of the star-like elements just below.

All Saints Church in background. 8 names for World War 2 are engraved on the topmost stone here:-

Another lateral view:-

After Market Harborough we visited Barnsdale, where the TV gardener Geoff Hamilton had his gardens, as the good lady was a great fan of his gardening style. From there we travelled on to Oakham, the county town of Rutland, the smallest county in England, where I found some (minor) deco.

Lloyd’s Bank:-

First of a row of Art Deco style shops. Built in 1934 but eyes poked out. Good detailing in the brickwork:-

Remainder of the terrace. Deco roof-line and detailing. Eyes poked out:-

In main street. Nice curve to this, but pretty bland otherwise:-
