- Beverley_town_fair abstract "The Market Town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, has had a fair since medieval times; in those days the fairs were places for trading goods and animals and also very useful for meeting people and finding news of what was going on elsewhere in the country.Towns were given the right to hold fairs by Royal charter. In the early 12th century Archbishop Thurstan was granted a charter to hold fairs four times a year, each lasting up to five days. Beverley's medieval fairs were: Feast of St John of Beverley 7 MayAscension Day Early summerFeast of St John the Baptist 21–5 JuneTranslation of St John of Beverley 25 OctoberThe four annual fairs survived until the 20th century, although the dates changed over the years.All these fairs were for the sale of cattle and horses and were held on North Bar Within or Without. One of the two market places, Saturday Market or Wednesday Market, was used at the same time for selling general goods. Another trading area was at Highgate where goods not generally sold on the weekly markets were available, attracting ‘foreigners’ or people from other areas such as York.The great horse fair was on Ascension Day-eve (the Cross Fair). A toll was charged for a horse entering the town and another if it was sold.".
