History Of Rutland

The north-western part of the county of Rutland was recorded as Rutland, a detached part of Nottinghamshire, in the Domesday Book; the south-eastern part as the wapentake of Wicelsea in Northamptonshire. It was first mentioned as a separate county in 1159, but as late as the 14th century it was referred to as the 'Soke of Rutland'. In the 19th century it was divided into the hundreds of Alstoe, East, Martinsley, Oakham and Wrandike. The county was made a district of Leicestershire in the local government reorganisation of 1974, but was restored to county status by popular demand on 1 April 1997.
