Geocache Description:

Ross Market House cache

The right to hold a market in Ross was granted in the 12th century by King Stephen. This stimulated the economy and encouraged trade with the surrounding countryside. There are records that indicate that Ross supported a variety of tradesmen, shops, market stalls, mills and iron forges during the reign of Edward 1.

The current Market Hall was built between 1650 and 1654, replacing an older probably wooden building, and is now used as the Ross Visitor Centre. Regular markets are still held under and in front of the Market House.

This is a micro cache hidden on the Market House and was placed there when the Market House Mollusc by Team.Rose was archived ( (visit link) )!

The cache contains a log, please bring a pen!!

This cache has been placed in association with Ross-on-Wye.com: Ross-on-Wye Past and Present - Historical notes on Ross (visit link)

Congratulations to Gandab for the FTF on this one!
