Newbury had a population of 42,260 at the 2021 census, a market town in West Berkshire founded as a new borough in the late 11th century, with its earliest municipal charter dated to 1596.
The Corn Exchange and the Market Place
The Corn Exchange, a 400-seat auditorium in the Market Place, is Newbury's cultural hub today, hosting professional and amateur live performances alongside an independent cinema — The Who famously played there in 1966. The town's older wealth came from the cloth trade, epitomised by 16th-century merchant Jack of Newbury, said to have run what may have been England's first factory.
The Cloth Hall nearby, a rare medieval survivor with its adjoining half-timbered granary, and St Nicolas' Church, completed in 1532 in the Perpendicular style, are reminders of that trade. None of it, then or now, was ever a sweet shop.
What that leaves out
A market charter, a cloth hall and a 400-seat exchange cover a browse and a bag, not 3kg bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly selections put together for an order.
Why Newbury shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a Market Place quantity, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option, whatever's showing at the Corn Exchange that week.

What's the historic building at the centre of Newbury?
