Wokingham's built-up area recorded a population of around 50,325 at the 2021 census, with the town parish itself home to 38,284 people — the commercial centre of the wider Wokingham borough in Berkshire.
A market charter from 1227
Wokingham's market charter dates back to 1227, when Henry III granted the Bishop of Salisbury the right to hold a weekly Tuesday market in the town — income from it went towards funding the building of Salisbury Cathedral. Elizabeth I granted a further charter in 1583, and James I's charter of 1612 introduced the town's first recognisable form of local government. The town centre is still built around Market Place and Peach Street today.
That's close to 800 years of continuous market history — genuinely one of the older charters covered in this series — but the market itself has always been a general one, for produce and goods rather than a specialist confectionery trade.
What eight centuries of market history doesn't cover
Eight centuries of market history doesn't amount to a bulk supplier. Nothing on Market Place or Peach Street holds 3kg bulk bags, a vegan-specific range or a halal-friendly selection ready to go — a general market stall was never built for that kind of order.
Why Wokingham shoppers order online anyway
For bulk, dietary-specific or trade quantities, ordering online and having it delivered direct to a Wokingham address is the more consistent option, whatever day the market's running.
