Market Place
Mansfield
England
One of Mansfield's shopping attractions is the market, which carries on a 700 year old tradition. Mansfield's market charter was first granted by King Henry III in 1227. It was originally held on Mondays, but from 1329 it was held on Thursdays. Prior to 1823 it was located at the bottom of Leeming Street near St Peter's Church. Under the Mansfield Improvement Act of 1823, the present Market Place was constructed between 1823-39 and the Market opened at its present site in 1840.
