Title: The Market Place, Romsey [Go to resource]
Description: The site of the Market Place dates back to the Medieval times and the earliest known right to hold markets was a royal charter granted to the Abbess of Romsey Abbey in the early 1100's. The medieval market was held on a Sunday but later changed to a Saturday. The day changed again in 1826 to a Thursday and this arrangement continued until the market ceased in 1919.
