Rutland, a place steeped in history and beauty. From the grandeur of Pynes House in Exeter, Devon, built in 1825 by the Marquess and Marchioness of Anglesey, to the picturesque town of Oakham nestled between Rutland and Leicestershire. In this quaint county, significant events have unfolded throughout the years. One such occasion was The Battle Between Cribb and Molineaux on September 28th and October 3rd, 1811. This historic boxing match captivated audiences as these two formidable fighters clashed inside the ring and has played host to influential figures who fought for women's rights. Suffragettes Pankhurst and Gawthorpe made their mark here in 1907, leaving an indelible legacy that still resonates today. The rich heritage of Rutlandshire is beautifully captured in engravings by Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612), showcasing Oukham and Stanford alongside its stunning landscapes. Nature lovers will find solace at Rutland Water - a serene reservoir habitat where Mallard Duck hybrids gracefully swim alongside domestic ducks. It's a sight that truly embodies harmony between wildlife and man-made structures. Culture thrives within Rutland too; it served as inspiration for Rutland Boughton's masterpiece "The Immortal Hour, " performed with brilliance in Birmingham. And St Matthews Church stands tall amidst Normanton village near Rutland Water - a testament to architectural marvels that dot this region. As we delve into the annals of history or immerse ourselves in nature's embrace at Rutland Water, let us not forget those like Diana, Marjorie, and Violet Manners who left an everlasting impact on this remarkable county. Rutland is more than just a name; it represents stories untold waiting to be discovered by those willing to explore its hidden treasures.
