Welcome to Clipsham

Clipsham is a small village located in the county of Rutland, England. It is situated on the A1 road, which connects London to Edinburgh. The village is known for its limestone quarries, which have been in operation since the Roman times. The Clipsham stone is a type of limestone that is highly valued for its durability and beauty. It has been used in the construction of many famous buildings, including St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the Houses of Parliament.

The village of Clipsham has a rich history that dates back to the Roman times. The Romans were the first to quarry limestone in the area, and the tradition has continued ever since. The village has a number of historic buildings, including the Clipsham Hall, which was built in the 17th century. The hall is now a private residence, but it is open to the public for tours. The village also has a number of pubs and restaurants, which serve traditional English food and drink.

Clipsham is a popular destination for tourists who are interested in history and architecture. The village is located in the heart of the Rutland countryside, which is known for its natural beauty. Visitors can take a walk through the village and admire the historic buildings, or they can take a tour of the limestone quarries to see how the Clipsham stone is extracted. The village is also a great place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
