Full Description
{1} 1263 grant for a Wednesday market and the fair of St. Michael. Probably replaced by Barnwell in 1270.
In 1263 there was a grant to Berenger le Moine of a Wednesday market and a fair on the eve, feast and morrow of St.Michael. It seems likely that the market, if it ever functioned, was discontinued in 1270 when Berenger obtained a grant of a market at his estate centre in nearby Barnwell. However it should be noted that the Barnwell market was on a Monday and Friday so neatly avoiding the Thurning market day. Certainly by 1274-5 Berenger was willing to move the Barnwell market date to a Wednesday so it seems quite improbable that Thurning market was still functioning at that time. Had the Thurning market thrived then undoubtedly the Abbot of Peterborough would have sought its destruction as well as that of Barnwell.
