Full Description
{1} In 1298 there were three bakehouses in the town worth 70/-. In the charter of 1251 the burgesses were required to bake their bread in the bakehouse on the market square. In 1313-14 the farm of bakehouses was worth £4 but their location is not specified. However in 1464 there were two bakehouses which were farmed for 40/-, while another bakehouse was separately held at farm in the Bond End. The implication is that whereas the bakehouse on the market square served the burgesses that in the Bond End served the bond tenants. In the 17th century only one bakehouse remained, that within the market place.
