The Parish of Empingham
Empingham lies on the main road between Stamford and Oakham, and has a population of 767. The Parish Church of St Peter, is one of the largest churches in Rutland. There is also a Methodist Church in the village which, besides its regular services, holds occasional youth services and events. There is a joint service each year on Remembrance Sunday, alternating between the parish church and the Methodist church. We think that working with the Methodist congregation in Empingham is important. The Post Office sets up every Monday in the Methodist Church.
Empingham village school
Empingham Church of England Primary School is voluntary controlled – with a roll currently standing at 70. Each term the school hold an Assembly in the church as well as the annual Christingle service.
Other facilities in the village
There is a general store and the White Horse Public House. Both the Audit Hall and the Cricket and Social Club provide facilities for meetings and events.
The village contains a good cross section of people, with farms around it providing local employment; other people in employment tend to work in the surrounding towns, while some commute to London.
Empingham Parish Council meets to discuss planning proposals and matters of local concern.
