Oakham Market Today Oakham Rutland

Oakham's War Memorial at All Saints Church was re dedicated today for the future marking its centenary.

I found on Twitter today Oakham's War Memorial at All Saints Church was re dedicated today for the future marking its centenary.

The Lord Lieutenant of Rutland Dr Sarah Furness placed some roses.

Its a shame there appears to have been no publicity about this event, so Oakham residents could have attended.

I have been told there was a mention in the Rutland Mercury last week. The article incorrectly states it is a memorial for Rutland's fallen and cost £900. It cost £1000 and is a memorial to over 100 Oakham's fallen.

One hundred years ago the church yard was overflowing with residents when the war memorial was dedicated.

The correct information about Oakham War Memorial can be found here.
