Why this matters
The Horse Fair in Norwich was a significant medieval market for horse trading during the reigns of Kings Edward I and Edward II, reflecting the economic importance of equine commerce in medieval England. Its relocation to the Castle ditches in 1500 by order of King Henry VII marked an administrative change in managing urban space and trade activities within the city.
