The late 15th century grade I-listed butter cross (a former dairy-produce sales point, with a roof in this case) also houses a set of lower-limb stocks and a former source of the town's water supply - the pump. The gated entrance to the very well-known Oakham independent school - founded in 1585 - is located adjacent to the very substantial wooden door on the right.
