'''Clipsham''' is a small village in [[Rutland]]. It is in the northeast of the county, close to the county boundary with [[Lincolnshire]].<br />
<br />
==Clipsham stone==<br />
The village is well known for its limestone quarries, from which Clipsham stone is obtained.<ref>[http://www.clipshamstone.co.uk/ Clipsham Quarry Company website]</ref><ref>[http://www.stamfordstone.co.uk/home.html The Stamford Stone Company] - Clipsham Medwells Quarry</ref> The stone is a form of limestone, part of the Upper Lincolnshire Limestone Formation. Clipsham stone can be found in many of Britain's most famous buildings including [[Oakham Castle]], [[King's College Chapel]] in [[Cambridge]], the Examination Schools in [[Oxford]], [[York Minster]], and in repairs to the [[Palace of Westminster]].<br />
<br />
The earliest recorded use of Clipsham Stone was for [[Windsor Castle]] between 1363 and 1368. The [[London Stone]] is made of it, however, and dates back at least to about 1100.<br />
<br />
==About the village==<br />
Clipsham Hall, is an 18th-century mansion set in a landscaped park.<br />

The topiary Yew Tree Avenue, once the carriage drive to Clipsham Hall, is now maintained by the [[Forestry Commission]].<ref>http://www.forestry.gov.uk/kestevenforest</ref> The avenue stretches for over 500 yards, with some 150 shaped yew trees leading towards the Hall. Many of the trees are over 200 years old and have been trimmed since 1870 into various shapes depicting birds and animals on the tops and designs in relief on the sides.<br />
