Ampthill Market

Ampthill market was established in 1219 and was confirmed by royal charter in 1242.   It has always been held on a Thursday.  There was a market house on the square, this was replaced with the market house now Richardsons in the 1780s, when Lord Ossary of Ampthill Park 'tidied up' the town.

It is small market but has a good selection of stalls, the Town Council try to keep it varied.

Here is a quick summary of all of the stalls, and hopefully I will return with some more posts later on about each of the stalls, apart from the Country Market - as I am sure you will know we are there every week if you have been reading this blog :)
