Full Description
{1}In 1356 Edward Earl of Cornwall was granted a fair yearly in his manor at Little Weldon on vigil, day and morrow of Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr with all liberties and free customs belonging to the same. The settlement never acquired a market in the medieval period.
The market was presumably held on the green on the northern side of Great Weldon, abutting the main highway. This is not likely to have been the site of the medieval fair as that was held in Little Weldon.
