The Historical Axminster blue plaque on the wall of Frank Rowe House http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5331691 records that a Charter was granted to the town in 1210, which included the right to hold a weekly market. The market was held in Market Square until 1834. It was then moved to Trinity Square. The Market then moved to this site on 6th October 1912 and after 94 years, sadly was closed in 2006 following the outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease.
