The Vaults Pub Sign - Market Place - Uppingham, Rutland - 3 Dimensional Art on Waymarking.com

A beer barrel used as a pub sign above the entrance to The Vaults in The Market Place, Uppingham.

"Between the High Street and the Church is the Market Place where for over 800 years people have bartered, bought and sold meat, foods, shoes, clothes and where they obtained cloth, salt, or some luxuries from itinerant traders. Buildings such as Ashdale’s, the Post Office, The Vaults started as market stalls and were allowed to stay so that they became permanent. The island shop is said to be the location of the town’s medieval market office and lock-up.

Once there were nine inns surrounding the Market Place. Today the Vaults (its old name was The Duke of Wellington) and the Falcon are all that are left.

In the years 1790 to 1810, the buildings now the Post Office, Ashdale Pharmacy, The Vaults, the Chinese Takeaway [ed. Who knew they had Chinese Takeaway back in 1790??] and No 6 were owned by a wealthy wine merchant and banker called James Hill. All these were old properties when he bought them, but he gave each a face-lift using large blocks of fine white Clipsham stone."
