Went to a little village called Exton (family name), also to Oakham where there is a supermarket and shops. There happen to be a market going on so was able to get some fresh seafood and vegies. Had a look through Oakham Castle, which was really the village Hall where they use to hold their court cases( had a 2 cell prison) and conducted weddings and still do. Also have concerts and lectures. When the Peers and Royalty visit they present a horse shoe which is attached to the walls upside down so the Devil can''t make a nest in the bottom. This tradition remains . The Hall is on the site of a medieval Castle.
