About Fencing in Oakham
Oakham in Rutland has served as the county town since Saxon times, when a royal manor stood on the site, and the Normans continued to use the settlement as an administrative centre after the Conquest. In 1180 the Norman baron Walkelin de Ferrers began fortifying the old manor to create Oakham Castle, of which only the Great Hall now survives, set within earthen banks that once enclosed a much larger complex. The castle is home to one of England's more unusual traditions, in which every peer of the realm visiting Oakham for the first time is obliged to present a horseshoe to the lord of the manor, a custom linked to the de Ferrers family name, which relates to the word for ironworker, and several hundred horseshoes, some of enormous size, now hang on the Great Hall's walls, the oldest dating to 1474 and donated by King Edward IV himself.
