Oakham set to get statue of Queen Elizabeth II




Members of Oakham Town Council have agreed funding for the repair of the stained glass window at Oakham All Saints' Church, and for the provision of a statue in the town of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

All Saints' Parish Church Oakham, situated in the heart of the town, is Grade I listed and dates to the early 13th Century. It is also the largest church in Rutland.

Speaking to members of the full council at their meeting on Thursday last week (January 12), mayor, Sally-Anne Wadsworth said: “The council is asked to provide the sum of £5,000 for the repair of the stained glass windows at Oakham All Saints' Church.

Members unanimously agreed to both recommendations.

The next full meeting of Oakham Town Council is on Wednesday, February 8.
