17th century building that started its history as market stalls that were allowed to stay so that they became permanent.
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 Vaults were owned by a wealthy wine merchant and banker called James Hill. This was an old property then, but he gave it a face-lift in around 1810.
"The Vaults is Uppingham’s version of a traditional English pub, with a generous selection of cask ales, continental beers and local brews set in the cosy welcoming Grade II listed building, dating from the 17th century.
Still showing its original character features, The Vaults has been updated with cosy sofas, wood-burning fires and warm colours, making it a relaxing place to meet. The Vaults serves traditional pub food with a difference, offering a hearty meal full of flavour and quality, cooked in-house using local ingredients. The perfect accompaniment to a pint of local ale."
