More about this scene
Buntingford was founded in the 1100s and served as a market for the surrounding villages and communities, particularly the settlement at the adjacent Layston. The weekly cattle market, revived in 1920, was based on a royal charter of 1542. The tall building in the left distance was originally the Manse, and became a shop in the 1930s.
