More about this scene
On Ash Wednesday and St Mary Magdalene's Day (22 July) each year, a fun fair is staged in the Chipping. 'Chipping' is the Anglo-Saxon word for 'market', and the fairs were once 'mops', at which farm and domestic servants sold their labour to an employer for the year ahead. The fine half-timbered corner premises that in the 1950s housed Fawkes Stores is now a clothes shop. On the opposite side of the road is The Snooty Fox, once called The White Hart, which in the mid 19th century was enlarged to include assembly rooms, where fashionable balls were held.
