A short history of Market Weighton
The Domesday Book of 1086 lists the place under the name Wicstun. Parts of the parish church of All Saints are Norman. A market charter was granted to the town in 1251. The antiquarian William Camden, writing in the sixteenth century, named it Wighton and linked it with Delgovicia, a Roman camp. The Londesborough Arms is a coaching inn from the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century the markets ceased and Sir William Smith suggested the town as the site of the camp, which has still not been found. The high street remains recognisable from that century and there are Wesleyan and Methodist chapels. William Bradley, the Yorkshire Giant, stood 7 ft 9 in tall at the age of 20. Seventeen listed buildings lie within half a mile of the centre; All Saints is Grade I and the other sixteen are Grade II.
