Uppingham, in Rutland, had a population of around 5,700 at the 2021 census — a small market town whose streets and skyline are still shaped by a school founded more than 400 years ago.
A town built around its school
Uppingham School was founded in 1584 by Archdeacon Robert Johnson, initially as a small grammar school, and grew over the following centuries into one of England's well-known independent schools. Its buildings now occupy a large part of the town centre, and the school's presence has shaped Uppingham's character and economy for generations.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Uppingham's school-town history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Uppingham shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — no trip into Leicester or Peterborough required.
