Type and Period
Description
The market was sited at the junction of High Street and South Street, where there is a widening of the High Street. The fifteenth century buildings are located close to this area, and at least two public-buildings (one possibly the market toll-house) face on to it. There are two small islands of buildings infilling part of the market space. The current buildings date to the eighteenth century and it is possible that the infilling took place at that date. <1>
