Bishop's Castle, a market town here in Shropshire, has a history rooted in it's strategic location on the Welsh border & the presence of a castle built by the Bishop of Hereford. The town developed around this castle, & its charter for a market & an annual fair, in 1249, solidified it's status as a market town. Further charters, including one from Queen Elizabeth I in 1573, granted the town self-governance.
