Did You Know?
Epping has been a market town since 1253 A.D. when Henry III granted a charter for a weekly market. Trading in the High Street has therefore been a feature of the life of the town throughout the centuries, only to be varied according to the economic climate and conditions of the various ages.
In the past, cattle were walked through on their way to Smithfield Market while horses and even wives were bought and sold!
Despite the increase in population and the encroachment of London, Epping has maintained the ambience of a country market town. This is due to the forest which insulates it from suburban London and the Government policy of creating a Green Belt round Greater London.
