The plaque on the right-hand return of the Town Hall commemorate the building of the Market Hall in 1634 and subsequent happenings.
It reads:
The building of a Market Hall on
this site, now occupied by the
Town Hall, was begun in 1634.
On the 25th February 1643 the
Market Hall was wrecked by an
explosion of gunpowder during
the temporary occupation of the
town by Parliamentarian forces
under the command of Lord Brooke.
Although subsequently repaired,
by 1767 the building was "in a
dangerous and ruinous state"
and was replaced by the present
building.
