More about this scene
The main shopping areas of Broad Street and Church Street have not changed too much in character since the camera clicked on this scene. Now as then, most of the shops in town are run by independent traders, so the worst excesses of corporate retail fascias have been avoided. Newent has been a market town since Henry III granted it a charter in the 13th century, and it is appropriate that the Market House, which stands on stilts and is some four centuries old, is located at the heart of the town.
