The male depicted in the left carving is Roger, Bishop of Salisbury, and the female on the right is Matilda, both of whom are mentioned here. This building is quite close to the castle, but search as I might I cant find out any more information about the history of this particular building. Are there locals reading this who can expand, please?
This is the Corn Exchange, which you can read about here
and lastly the market itself, held every Thursday, when the town is really busy with people coming in from miles and miles around.
Come back soon for another mini-trip

Hi joy

I don't know how to disable that verification thingy - have tried. All I could do was make all comments from any source instantly publishable. I fyou know how to do what you mean let me know! Gabs x
tried that Joy - it wasn't there:( But I have the most open commenting you can have now so maybe it might have gone.. sorry.
Hi thank goodness someone said what I have been thinking, I can't stand them.
