Market Weighton is a small East Yorkshire market town with one towering claim to fame — quite literally.
A royal charter, and a Roman past
Market Weighton sits on the site of a Roman settlement, with archaeological evidence of activity stretching back thousands of years. Its status as a market town dates to 1251, when Henry III granted a royal charter and weekly Thursday markets began.
The Yorkshire Giant
The town's most famous resident was William Bradley, born in 1787, who reached 7ft 9in and 27 stone by the age of 20 — the tallest Englishman ever recorded. King George III gave him a gold chain he wore for the rest of his life, and Market Weighton still marks his memory with an annual Giant Bradley Day.
