Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire is one of the principal market towns in the northern Cotswolds situated on the Fosse Way and now served by the main line railway from London. It grew up in the thirteenth century as a market town with a wide main street, narrow burgage plots and back lanes. There still is a busy Tuesday market with about 200 stalls attracting many visitors. See image of Tolls charged in 1905.
Moreton has been a traveller's town for at least 1700 years and was used as a coaching station before the coming of the Oxford to Worcester railway in 1853. There are several pubs, inns, hotels, tea shops, restaurants and accommodation in the form of B&Bs and holiday cottages in the immediate vicinity. A popular caravan site exists just on the outskirts of the town.
The high street has many elegant eighteenth-century inns and houses including the Redesdale
Market Hall, a Victorian 'Tudor' building of some distinction. The oldest building is likely
to be the sixteenth-century Curfew tower on the High Street. Its bell was rung nightly
until 1860 to remind people of the risk of fire at night. The Parish church of St. David
was originally a chapel of ease for Bourton-on-the-Hill and in 1858 was rebuilt in medieval
style.
