Full Description
{1}}It was claimed in 1329 that a market and fair at Daventry had been authorised by a charter of John (1199-1216); this claim was upheld. The earliest reference to a market at Daventry dates from an entry in the Assize Rolls for 1203, which recorded that ‘Emma Brunfustian who comes daily to the market of Daventry and Northampton is of the worst repute so that she has killed men and leads robbers to houses’.
