Market Hall, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, UK - National Trust U.K. on Waymarking.com

The arrival of Baptist Hicks in the late 1500s was probably greeted with some relief. Hicks was a self-made man, having come from a Gloucestershire family of moneylenders and traders in fine textiles.

He was also a man of considerable wealth, reputedly providing financial support to James I by way of loans as large as £150,000, and it was this largesse that no doubt helped to bring about the knighthood that was conferred on him in 1603.

Then, in 1627, he paid for the building of what has become one of Campden's famous landmarks, the Market Hall, a structure that was intended to protect the locals from the elements when selling their eggs, butter and cheese and the like.
