Corn Exchange, Thrapston
The Corn Exchange is a commercial building in the High Street in Thrapston, Northamptonshire, England. The structure, which is now used as the offices of a local firm of auctioneers and estate agents, is a Grade II listed building. History The building was originally commissioned as a public house known as The George Inn and was built in rubble masonry in around 1750. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the High Street. Following the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, a locally-born designer and hydraulic engineer, Freeman Roe, whose offices were in The Strand in London, decided to initiate a major remodelling of the building to create a corn exchange. The foundation stone for the remodelled structure was laid on 5 October 1850. The works, which were carried out by a local contractor, John Eaton, involved the construction of a new doorway, which was flanked by stone panels inscribed with the words "Corn Exchange" and by brackets supporting ...

Market Charter
A market town is a settlement most common in Europe that obtained by custom or royal charter, in the Middle Ages, a market right, which allowed it to host a regular market; this distinguished it from a village or city. In Britain, small rural towns with a hinterland of villages are still commonly called market towns, as sometimes reflected in their names (e.g. Downham Market, Market Rasen, or Market Drayton). Modern markets are often in special halls, but this is a relatively recent development. Historically the markets were open-air, held in what is usually called (regardless of its actual shape) the market square or market place, sometimes centred on a market cross (mercat cross in Scotland). They were and are typically open one or two days a week. In the modern era, the rise of permanent retail establishments reduced the need for periodic markets. History The primary purpose of a market town is the provision of goods and services to the surrounding locality. Althou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chancellor Of The Exchequer Of Ireland
The Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland was the head of the Exchequer of Ireland and a member of the Dublin Castle administration under the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the Kingdom of Ireland. In early times the office was sometimes called the Chancellor of the Green Wax. In the early centuries, the Chancellor was often a highly educated cleric with knowledge of Finance. In later centuries, when sessions of Parliament had become regular, the Chancellor was invariably an MP in the Irish House of Commons. Walter de Kenley (died 1308), Chancellor from 1292 until his death, was both a judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland) and a distinguished military commander who gave good service against the Gaelic clans of County Wicklow. The office was separate from the judicial role of Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer of Ireland, although in the early centuries, the two offices were often held by the same person; on other occasions, the Chancellor was second Baron of the Exche ...
