View
across the medieval market square towards the parish church.
Just
off the market place are some very attractive ancient streets. This one - Chain
Lane - is a popular shopping area.
Another nook leading into the Market Place. Some very fashionable shops are
attached to a Middle Ages inn called The Old White Hart.
The
whole town, steeped in history, is dotted with ancient buildings like the
Judge's House shown here.
The
the near-cathedral-like Early English church of St Mary Magdalene, like so much
in Market Town, is very historic and built largely from profits from the wool
trade in the Middle Ages.
One
of the great Norman Prince Bishops built Market Town Castle (now an ancient
ruin) to defend his territory from marauding hordes.
Peer
into areas from the market place to see its delights. This one is
called Queen's Head Court.

City . . .?
