Gazetteer of Markets and Fairs in England and Wales to 1516

http://www.ihrinfo.ac.uk/cmh/gaz/gazweb1.html

This web site provides access to information about markets and fairs in medieval England and Wales. This is the first comprehensive national survey of its kind. The project took place at the Centre for Metropolitan History with funding from the Economic and Social Research Council and additional funding from English Heritage, the Aurelius Trust, and the Guildhall Library. The gazetteer was produced by systematically working through a range of sources to provide as much information as possible about each market and fair, as well as background details on the places where they were held. This information is presented on the web site alphabetically by place name and alphabetically by place name by county (or country in the case of Wales). The site has a glossary of terms and a list of abbreviations. Help on how to use the gazetteer is available in the form of a comprehensive introduction and information on how to read gazetteer entries. More general details of the project are also provided.
