I noticed this little plaque while walking through town today, the date of 1219 is significant since it's the year that our town (Wokingham) gained a market charter from the Bishop of Salisbury and burgage strips of the medieval town were sold off to raise cash for the new cathedral he was constructing at Milford, by the river Avon. Little did we know when visiting that building earlier in the year that it was part funded by the sale of land in our own home town, small world.
