Burton upon Trent had a population of 76,270 at the 2021 census, historically best known as a brewing town on the River Trent in Staffordshire.
The Market Hall's 1200 charter, cast in stone
Burton's market charter is traditionally dated to 1200, granted by King John to the town's abbot for a weekly Thursday market — some sources place it slightly later, at 1203 or 1204, but it's old enough either way to have been renewed twice, by Henry III and Edward IV. The current Market Hall, built in 1883 on the same site as an earlier market, still carries stonework depicting King John granting that charter to a kneeling abbot.
The Grade II listed hall, extended in 1925, remains Burton's indoor market today — a genuinely old trading site, even if the building above it is Victorian rather than medieval.
What that history doesn't cover
A market with an 800-year charter is still, in practice, a stall-by-stall trade — not built for 3kg bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges, or halal-friendly selections put together for a business order.
