There has been a market in Oxford since the 9th Century.
The covered market was started in response to a general wish to clear up the main streets of "Untidy, Messy and Unsavoury stalls" . John Gwynn, architect of Magdalen Bridge drew up plans in 1722 for building twenty butchers shops at a cost of nine hundered and sixteen pounds, ten shillings. Twenty more followed in 1773 and from there the market grew with stalls for garden produce, pig meat, dairy products and fish.
