C is for Castle Yard


The Castle Yard was the "Motte" of a Norman castle and the castle "Bailey" the area which is now the Market Place. Today it forms a link between the outside market and the Courts shopping development created from the conversion of the adjacent former Magistrates Courts building. Stalls line the sides on market days.
