Located off Market Place is this schoolroom, the first home of Uppingham School. The building was originally one large room, and is now used as an art studio. Dated 1584, the building was extended circa 1830 and restored circa 1960. Constructed of squared, coursed rubble stone with a Collyweston stone slate roof. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1073171 Uppingham is a market town in the county of Rutland, and received its charter in 1281. It is located near the border with Northamptonshire, approximately 17 miles east of Leicester and some 20 miles west of Peterborough. The A47 road ran through the town until a bypass was built in 1982. The town is home to Uppingham School, an independent, co-educational, fee charging school for boarders aged 13 to 18, founded in 1584.
