More about this scene
This place was once a bustling wool centre, but it has not grown much since. When Daniel Defoe visited, there were 20,000 sheep being sold here. This view shows the west end of the Market Square. Several routes enter town, but none disturb this pretty square. A couple , probably visitors, admire the old market cross. The pinnacled 15th-century tower of St Edward's peeps up over the roof tops. The church was restored in the 1680s after being used to house prisoners during the Civil War; it was declared ruinous in 1657.
