Markets are built on trade. For centuries, the focus of trade was at markets and fairs. Medieval markets were presided over by a cross, called the market cross or high cross. Market crosses were built by the market authority. In the rare event that one was donated by a private benefactor, it would generally be taken over and maintained by the authority.
Who was the authority? The valuable right to hold a market was granted by the Crown. Many such grants were made to monasteries and manorial lords in the Middle Ages. Poorly-placed markets died away; successful ones became the hub of a market town. The Dissolution and the growing independence of successful boroughs meant that by Elizabethan times markets were more likely to be run by a corporation, perhaps developed from a merchant guild.
In Medieval Worcester there was a weekly Worcester market and after 1218 an annual fair. In the Middle Ages fairs were like markets but they were held only once a year. Buyers and Sellers would come from all over Herefordshire and Worcestershire to attend a Worcester fair. The number of fairs increased during the Middle Ages and by 1500 there were four.
