{1} In 1712 Morton reports the existence there of a ‘fair new Market House … by generous encouragement of the late Lord Hatton.' (A lock-up still stands on the edge of the Green in Great Weldon.) In 1800 there was still a Wednesday market being held in the village but by 1849 it had failed and the market house had been pulled down.
