Full Description
{1}In 1465 Richard Wydvyll, Earl Rivers obtained the grant of a weekly market at his manor of Grafton, to be held every Thursday, and two annual fairs, on the vigil, feast and morrow of S. Magdalen and on the vigil, feast and morrow of S. Simon and S. Jude. It may be that this grant was in some way linked to or justified by the grant of the medieval market at Alderton. By the act of resumption in 1485 the grant of this market and these fairs was specially exempted, implying that the market had been established and was still functioning.
