*************

All Saints' Church, Oakham is a parish church in the Church of England in Oakham, Rutland.

The spire of Oakham parish church dominates distant views of the town for several miles in all directions. The impressive tower and spire, built during the 14th century^{[citation needed]} in the ""Decorated Gothic"" style, are slightly earlier in date than most of the rest of the exterior of the building, which (apart from some Victorian restoration) is in the ""Perpendicular Gothic"" style. Oddly, the south doorway and its porch seem to be the oldest parts of the church, the doorway probably dating from the early 13th century^{[citation needed]} with the porch having been added later that century.

In the light, spacious interior there is more evidence of the mature Decorated style of the 14th century. The tall, slender columns of the nave have intricately carved capitals showing animals, birds, figures, foliage and scenes from the Bible including Adam and Eve, the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, the Annunciation and the Coronation of the Virgin Mary. There is also a fine Green Man.

It is a grade I listed building.^[1] It was restored in 1857 to 1858 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.
