Uppingham is an attractive market town that is found at the southern most tip of Rutland, is famed for being England's smallest county since regaining its unitary status in 1997 after just 23 years of being merged into Leicestershire. The towns history revolves predominantly around the wonderful Uppingham school which was built in 1584. Centuries on, the school had the great fortune of having the headmastership of the genius 'Rev. Edward Thring'. In the late eighteen hundreds he transformed the small Grammar school into a much larger, 330 pupil strong Public School, introducing such lessons as languages, crafts and music, subjects of which were near unheard of in the educational curriculum of that period.

The town is situated on the crossroads of the busy A47 and the A6003, being the central point between the two large cities of Leicester and Peterborough, and the two smaller towns of Oakham and Corby.
