St John and St Anne ancient Chapel, Oakham, Rutland, Will be visited by Prince Charles and Camilla, Photographs



The chapel a former hospital chapel is hidden in the centre of the Almshouse, visible from the railway line.

For some strange reason it features in the heritage trail and is clearly sign posted. If you
do follow the trail you are greeted by tall iron gates and signs warning private property.

I suppose the Town Partnership where desperate to find something of Oakham's remaining heritage
to put on their leaflet now publish and paid for by Oakham Town Council.









St John and St Anne Almshouse

The Prince of Wales, Patron of the Almshouse Association, and The Duchess of Cornwall will also visit St John and St Anne Almshouse in Oakham.  The Almshouse provides housing for retired people who want to maintain their independence.

Dr Vivian Anthony, Chairman of the Governors of St John & St John. Dr Anthony commented ‘we shall be delighted to show-off our attractive almshouses and ancient Chapel to our Royal Visitors and give them a chance to meet some of our wonderful residents and the governors who work so hard for the Charity’.
