In the 19th century a Corn Exchange was built at the heart of the market area. It was designed to be a concert hall as well as a market building and Elgar conducted the London Symphony Orchestra here in 1909. A young Winston Churchill also spoke here about his experiences during the Boer War.

Nowadays, this fine Victorian listed gem now houses a wider range of quality retailers including household linens, fashion, furnishing and much more.
