About  Hoddesdon   

Wednesday has been market day in Hoddesdon since a cattle market was introduced in 1886, but the first market in the town is beleived to date back to 1253. A charter was granted by Henry III for a weekly market each Thursday and an annual fair held on the three days around St. Martin's day. A second fair on St. Peter's day was granted by Elizabeth I in 1560. Today, a market is held each Wednesday and Friday. The origin of the name Hoddesdon is not certain as there are at least two theories, but the spelling has changed only slightly since it's entry in the Doomsday book as 'Hodesdone'.
